THEMES COVERED IN THIS REPORT

At Union Capital Boston, this past year demonstrated why our ongoing work is so necessary to keep communities connected and families supported during these turbulent times. We are both proud and weary as we share our impact and lessons from this past year: twin pandemics of COVID-19 and systemic racism have proven that not only is helping neighbors and volunteering at community programs a “feel good” activity, in many cases it’s a matter of life and death.

In our 2020 impact report, we discuss our response to both pandemics and hear from our members in their own words what UCB has meant to them during this difficult year.

IN THEIR WORDS

Quotes from our 2020 member survey


“UCB is a lighthouse. A guiding light of sorts on ocean seas during this deadly COVID storm.”

“I cannot tell you how much gratitude I have that UCB did not stop, it didn’t fade. UCB’s social connections were vital to me maintaining my sanity.”

“My whole family was affected when I was hospitalized (with COVID). UCB gave me support for food and emotional support.”
