There’s a new, much bigger, donation fridge at Harvest on Vine
As many of you know, Harvest on Vine supports the Charlestown community in so many ways.

And they just got a larger fridge that fits 50% more fresh produce! So, here is your reminder to consider purchasing a little extra food in your next trip to the store, and bringing it down to 46 Winthrop St, Charlestown, MA 02129. You can also make a monetary donation, here!
Two murals went up in Charlestown over the weekend – one has since been removed
First off – check out this beautiful new mural in the Brewer’s Fork patio!
But there was another mural that went up over the weekend, however it was “unauthorized.” It appeared in James J. Kelly Jr. Square and sparked discussion in Charlestown. The wall-sized artwork, which featured a Palestinian flag alongside an Irish tricolor, appeared overnight near Bunker Hill Mall. Following community backlash, the mural was painted over and removed within 24 hours, per orders from the property owner. It’s unclear who created the mural.
