On Tuesday, Mayor Thomas M. Menino launched the City of Boston’s 21st Annual Can Share with a trip to Hi-Lo Foods in Jamaica Plain for a community shopping challenge. Mayor Menino joined community members to shop with a budget of $21, equal to the average weekly food stamp benefit of a Massachusetts household, showing how challenging it is for some households to feed their families. The shopping trip kicked off Can Share, the city’s annual food drive to help feed Boston’s hungry.
Below is a short film with footage from the event. We hope it inspires you to participate!
The Neigborhood Crime Watch unit strongly urges Neighborhood Crime Watch members accross the city to participate in Can Share by donating 21 cans, $21 dollars, or tell 21 of your neighbors about Can Share. Cans are being collected at Fire Stations, Community Centers, City Halls, and Fedex Kinkos through December 4.
