Eleven years later, Mayor Michelle Wu and the City of Boston invite community-based organizations, businesses, City workers, and residents to come together for volunteer events and acts of kindness in recognition of our City’s spirit of care for one another in response to the tragic events of April 15, 2013.

We look forward to beautifying our neighborhood together! If you have any questions, please reach out to our team at CivicOrganizing@boston.gov.
