Donate to Support
Your gift is more than a donation—it’s a lifeline.
When you give to Yardtime, you’re helping people heal from trauma, reconnect with family, and rebuild after incarceration. You're fueling real programs with real impact:
-
$75 covers one participant’s spot in a healing circle.
-
$300 gives someone a laptop—and the skills to use it.
-
$500 keeps our men’s bowling league rolling, week after week.
-
Any amount helps us show up consistently for those coming home.
-
Every dollar stays local, serving individuals in Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan, and Mission Hill.
-
Become a monthly donor to make an even greater impact. Reentry doesn’t happen overnight—your ongoing support helps us be there for the long haul.
Together, we restore dignity, trust, and opportunity.
Let’s give second chances the support they deserve.
“Yardtime gave me more than support—it gave me a brotherhood I didn’t know I needed.”
