As the weather turns cold, the Newton Food Pantry Teen Ambassador Program is collecting winter gear to distribute to Newton Food Pantry clients! Spread some love this winter and drop off new or gently used winter hats, mittens, gloves, snow pants, jackets, and socks (new only) in sizes from kids to adults.
Donations can be dropped off at Bigelow from now until Tuesday, January 31st. The collection bin is blue and right in front of the Bigelow front office.
Show your New England spirit by walking, biking, rolling, or taking the bus in the winter! Join students across Massachusetts in celebrating Winter Walk, Ride & Roll Day on Wednesday, February 1. Newton families, please do your part by keeping your sidewalks clear of snow and ice.
Notice a problem (potholes, damaged sidewalk, faded or missing crosswalks) on your route? Be part of the solution and alert the City of Newton via Newton 311.
