For 25 years, Wellspring House has been helping families move out of poverty to achieve more secure and fulfilling lives.  An advocate for social justice, Wellspring House is a non-profit organization that annually provides education, emergency shelter, affordable housing, job training, family support and mentoring programs to hundreds of families on Boston's North Shore.  Wellspring House is rooted in the vision of a just society in which people live interdependently and all have access to homes, education, and community support.  The organization has grown organically, sprouting new programs and projects as needs are revealed.

Wellspring House depends on the continuing generosity of people who recognize the needs and know that we address them effectively.  Please support our varied work and make a generous, tax-deductible, secure, online donation by clicking here now.  Read about other ways to support our work by visiting our Supporting Wellspring page.

The Wellspring Story 

How much do you really know about Wellspring’s beginnings, mission, beliefs, life and work? Many people who give to or work at Wellspring or study there or attend events still have many questions. To answer some of them the board asked one of Wellspring’s founders, Rosemary Luling Haughton, to write a short history, ‘The Wellspring Story’, including pieces by some people connected to Wellspring in various ways, and with photographs. The book costs $5.00; it will be available at all Wellspring events and you can arrange to pick up copies at Wellspring House.  Copies by mail can be ordered from the Development Office at 302 Essex Ave, Gloucester, MA 01930, 978-281-3558 x301 or by email. Please remember to add $2.50 p.& p, supply your name, address, phone and/or e-mail and how you intend to pay for the book.

Since 1981, Wellspring House, Inc. has been serving the North Shore-Cape Ann region with programs in housing, emergency shelter, education and economic development.  Wellspring lives out its mission in four ways:

by providing shelter in a spirit of hospitality;
by developing affordable housing;
 by supporting community economic development;
by providing education to facilitate personal and social growth and change.
