Dear Members and Friends:
A quiet week while the winter weather catches us in the Fenway.
Enjoy these photos from the Fenway Tree lighting – with thanks to Mayor Wu and our Fenway representatives and thank you all for joining us!
We are grateful to our partners at Samuels & Associates, to Fenway Community Center, Wally, Tessie, and the Boston Red Sox, and to all sponsors, partners, and generous volunteers who helped make this event a success.
This Wednesday is the last Fenway Cares food distribution for 2025 – operations will resume January 14th. Please remember FENWAY CARES as you consider charitable causes – this all-volunteer program is entering its 7th year, providing over 10,000 boxes of fresh fruits and vegetables to neighbors and preventative clinic services through the MGB Community Care team every year. Funding is a constant challenge. Follow this link to the Fenway Cares page, scroll down to see the food distribution donation options. Thank you!
This week, join Fenway Alliance for cocoa and carols at New Edgerly Plaza on December 20th. For these details and more, scroll below.
