Three decades and counting the Caribbean Foundation of Boston is still strong, with a voice that speaks for itself. We are the catalyst for the Urban Community Homemaking program. In 1973 we crowned ourselves pioneers, on the road to improving the quality and access to home care services in Boston.

We hire and train local residents to provide services that help to prevent the unnecessary institutionalization of the elderly and disabled, and to maintain children in their homes by providing help to families where a mother is incapacitated.

Every year the Caribbean Foundation host a banquet in an effort to show appreciation and to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

On January 18, 2009 the Silver Anniversary Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Awards Testimonial Banquet dinner will be held to honor those who have carved a place to realize his

dreams through their outstanding contribution to the community. The event, for which tickets can be purchased at the Caribbean Foundation's office, is held at the William E. Reed Auditorium in Dorchester, and is open to all.
