We Give Back
By participating, volunteering, and sponsoring, we are able to contribute to the community we serve.
Over the years we have created strong bonds with the community by proudly volunteering with the Greater Boston Food Bank and Pine Street Inn, collaborating at the YMCA’s Educational & Training branch, contributing to the success of Catholic Charities and Nurtury Boston, as well as supporting The American Heart Association. In every way we are committed to improving the education and social awareness of society, to create better lives.
Giving back is more than just our responsibility, it’s a priority.

Pine Street Inn
JOHNLEONARD closely works with Pine Street Inn, New England’s largest homeless
services organization, to make a difference in the Boston community. PSI’s mission is to end homelessness by making permanent housing a reality for the most vulnerable individuals. Since the beginning of our relationship with PSI, our team has had multiple opportunities to volunteer at the shelter in Boston’s South End by preparing food in its kitchen and serving food to shelter guests.
In 2019, both JOHNLEONARD and Pine Street Inn celebrated their respective 50th anniversaries. We take pride in supporting PSI’s comprehensive range of programs and services that include permanent housing, job training, emergency shelter, and street outreach, with the goal of moving individuals off the street, out of the shelter, and back to a home and community.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, JOHNLEONARD successfully helped fill a variety of the shelter’s integral job openings. From Kitchen Staff to Case Managers to Residential Counselors, all of these roles were and are paramount to the success of the nonprofit and directly impacts the lives of the shelter’s guests.
Catholic Charities
Catholic Charities, one of the largest social service non-profit organizations in Massachusetts, provides essential services for those in need. The organization served thousands of vulnerable families impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic with food, emergency assistance, and more. JOHNLEONARD is honored to have been able to closely work with and provide dedicated Temporary Representatives during the pandemic as well as support their ongoing mission. Our employees, “Essential Heroes”, were on the frontlines and were critical to Catholic Charities providing basic food necessities to thousands of families and individuals in our community.
American Heart Association
Nearly two decades ago, JOHNLEONARD became a proud business partner of the American Heart Association and continues to be committed to this organization’s mission to promote healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. In 2011, we began our proud participation in and support of the annual Lawyers Have Heart 5k and summer celebration.
Our team’s participation in this event began when a family member of one of our team members was diagnosed with a heart condition. Since then, we have been actively involved in raising awareness of heart disease & stroke, which takes the lives of over 600,000 people every year in the United States, amounting to one in every four deaths every single year.
