2009 Harpoon Helps Spread Holiday Cheer Locations List

The 6th Annual Harpoon Helps Spread Holiday Cheer mission returns for what promises to be the largest Harpoon Helps mission ever!

On Saturday, December 5th, we will be sending Harpoon Helpers (you!) to various locations throughout Boston (shelters, soup kitchens, play spaces, etc.) to put up decorations for the holiday season. Harpoon Helps has located forty places that could really use some holiday festiveness. This year, we will again be decorating in Boston, Worcester, Hartford, Providence, Portland, Lebanon and Manchester (NH), Albany, and Philly. For the first time, Harpoon Helpers will be decorating in Austin, TX, Washington, DC, and Burlington, VT.
