On February 6th more than 300 people converged on the Harriet Tubman House in Boston’s South End to raise funds for funds for United South End Settlement. “Great beer, great food, great music, great fun! All to help some of our neighbors in need. That’s what Brewers Helping Neighbors is all about,” said USES’ President and CEO, Kevin Hepner. While this is the fifth time USES has hosted this event, it has drawn a sellout crowd for the past three years. “This year our breweries, restaurants and corporate sponsors, along with our esteemed guests, all helped USES raise almost $25,000 to sustain programs and services that help people from 3 months old to 108 years old,” continued Hepner.
