PROJECT BREAD SUPPORTS ‘FOOD AND FUN’ FOR BOSTON KIDS THIS SUMMER
$225,900 in statewide grants aim to help families cope with food and gas crisis

June 27, 2008 — EAST BOSTON — When school is out, kids who rely on free or reduced-price school meals need a safe place to go where they can get a healthy meal and have some summer fun. That’s why Project Bread is providing $45,600 in incentive grants to the Summer Food Service Program in Boston in an effort to help families cope with the skyrocketing cost of food and gas.

It's charity walk season here in Boston, and that means every weekend, some part of the city will be shut down, causing major traffic and mobility headaches.

I think there is a better way...charity walks, extortion style.

Like Adam, I attended the Boston Civic summit today. I was pleasantly surprised. I posted an entry on my blog about it here: http://rosslevanto.blogspot.com/2008/05/boston-civic-summit.html

Enjoy!
