The people of Chelsea, Massachusetts need help urgently.
Chelsea is home to some of the most vulnerable groups in the Boston region: newly-arrived immigrants, undocumented families, non-English speakers, and low-income workers and families with children.
As a frontline community, Chelsea residents already experience greater public health challenges. The economic, social, and health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic were immediate and dire for the many in Chelsea who live one paycheck away from serious financial hardship. COVID-19 has magnified the ongoing struggles of our community: unstable and unaffordable housing, food insecurity, low wages, lack of English proficiency, and high rates of uninsured.
This week, the United Way has moved to create a fund to address this issues, working with local non-profits The Neighborhood Developers, Chelsea Collaborative and GreenRoots.
Please consider donating to The One Chelsea Fund through the United Way. Any and ALL funds raised will go directly to Chelsea families impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic. None of the dollars raised will go to any organization and no Fees will be incurred.
All Chelsea families will be eligible for a $250 gift card/cash benefit directly from the funds raised through The One Chelsea Fund.
