We just hit 5,000 deliveries with @BostonABCD! Since 2023, Project DASH and ABCD have partnered to bring meals and groceries straight to the doors of families facing hunger in Greater Boston. For seniors and families who can't always make it to a food pantry, home delivery through Project DASH means they don't have to worry about where their next meal will come from. We’re proud to work with ABCD in the fight against hunger, one delivery at a time.

Extreme heat can be dangerous. Know the signs of heat-related illness: nausea, muscle cramps, confusion, heavy sweating, clammy skin, headache, dizziness — even loss of consciousness. If symptoms persist, call 911 immediately. boston.gov/heat

Good news just in time for the holiday weekend — water testing has confirmed it’s safe to swim at state beaches impacted by last week’s sewage main break in Haverhill. I’m grateful to everyone who worked around the clock to protect public health and get families back to enjoying our waterways as quickly as possible.

It’s time to shovel, Boston! Please clear an accessible path of travel on sidewalks and ramps to be sure folks can get around safely. Don’t throw that snow back into the street! If you are able, look out for neighbors who may need help.
