Help your neighbors in need
As many families across Boston face cuts or a pause in their SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits, it’s more important than ever for our community to step up. Charlestown has always taken care of its own, and there are plenty of ways—big and small—to make sure no one goes hungry this season. Whether you can donate canned goods, volunteer your time, or give a few dollars, your kindness will go a long way. A top food need right now for Harvest on Vine is cereal. So, this Saturday, November 1st, from 10am–2pm, the Junebug Van will be parked out front of their store collecting donations. The goal is 100 boxes!
Check out our full roundup of ways you can help your neighbors in need.
