       The SPARK Center at BMC

       255 River Street

       Mattapan, MA 02126

We also accept in-kind donations, from diapers to digital cameras. Please contact us for our current “wish list” of items.

Why Your Gift is Needed
The SPARK Center relies heavily on institutional (BMC) funds, state and federal grant support, and the generosity of private foundations, individual donors and volunteers. Unfortunately, in recent years, federal budget cuts have weakened critical services to the neediest, including childcare and special services to children living with HIV/AIDS.   Most children at SPARK live in poverty with parents and caregivers who struggle daily to maintain the integrity of their families.


The SPARK Center recognizes the importance of providing high quality medical and psychotherapeutic services free of charge to its unique population. Your contributions help us meet the individual needs of each SPARK child and maintain excellence in staff training, programming, and all aspects of our special facilities.  Undesignated donations for specialty teachers, general operating expenses, special equipment, and classroom supplies are also greatly appreciated.

Volunteers and Interns
Volunteer assistance with children and with daily demands of program operation are always welcome.  Internship and training opportunities offer another exciting way to get involved.  For more information about volunteering or interning at SPARK, please call Barbara Armandt at 617.534.2050, option 9.

Call us and come for a visit.  Together we can meet the challenge!
