Community Updates

Hello Jeffries Point Neighbors!

Although we continue to social distance for public health reasons, there continue to be activities and planning happening in the neighborhood.  We wanted to share these updates with you:

• The Samuel Adams School is having a Chalk Your Walk event! Everyone is being asked to draw your best rainbows, your happiest doodles and messages of hope all over your sidewalks! Snap a picture and send it to the email/phone below by May 29 to be featured in the school’s newest video! Please send your picture by email to adamsschoolspc@gmail.com or text to 781-656-5449.
• Tree Eastie continues to be active, mapping trees throughout East Boston, securing a grant from the East Boston Foundation and more!  Check out their website at www.treeeastie.com for a full list of activities!
  • One great option from Tree Eastie? A $10 tree! Just click here and input your address and zip code. The website will assist you in determining where to plant your tree for annual energy savings. By supporting this effort with a $10 donation, you will receive a one-gallon tree and experience its generosity for years to come.
• The East Boston Soup Kitchen continues to support the community. Although with heavy hearts they closed the kitchen, they continue to support our friends and neighbors with the distribution of grocery store gift cards. If you would like to donate gift cards or funds in support, please send donations to: EBCSK, PO Box 497, East Boston, MA. 02128.
• Looking for a mask? The Immigrant Women Cooperative Project CCDS is a Sewing Cooperative Project for and by immigrant women affected by the current pandemic and economic crisis.  They are selling masks to support their families.  Here is the order form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeW58-uO0oQtZTaPmfoj30Up5OxJUyGg8-fN9kmAJNpkDvWFg/viewform
