Circle of Hope, a nonprofit organization based in Needham, Massachusetts, mark another major sponsor and its official mover – Mark’s Storage & Moving.

Mark Silverman, founder of Mark’s Moving & Storage, is a long-time Needham resident and neighbor of Circle of Hope.  In addition to  his moving and storage company, based in Westborough, MA, Silverman founded Mark’s Northeastern Furniture Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to re-purposing discarded furniture and other necessities for charities and individuals in need.

Circle of Hope provides individuals and families experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity in both Metro West and Greater Boston with clothing and hygiene essentials to promote health and opportunity. By making regular deliveries of seasonally appropriate clothing, shoes, bedding, and hygiene essentials to 35 homeless shelters, healthcare clinics, schools, and community programs, Circle of Hope promotes physical and mental health and fosters opportunity for thousands of people in need. Last year, Circle of Hope gave clothing and hygiene essentials to more than 31,700 people experiencing homelessness.

“We are delighted to partner with Circle of Hope,” noted Silverman. He added, “We don’t just move belongings — we move with purpose! This partnership represents exactly who we are - a company whose culture and mission reach far beyond profitability. For more than four decades, we’ve believed that success creates responsibility — and that those of us who have been fortunate have an obligation to lift others up.”

He continued, “At Mark’s Moving & Storage, philanthropy isn’t a side project; it’s woven into the fabric of how we operate. From supporting families in crisis to delivering essential goods to those who need them most, we take pride in using our resources, people, and expertise to make a real impact in the community.”

Ari Barbanell, Executive Director of Circle of Hope noted, “We are blessed to have partners like Mark’s Storage and Moving. We have a common goal – creating a more compassionate and connected community.”
