CV staff had a blast at Inman Eats and Crafts on Sunday! ☀️ The sunny weather brought out a huge crowd to celebrate local foods, brews, and artists in Inman Square.

THANK YOU to our amazing volunteer team who braved the heat and kept the event running safely and smoothly! Special thank you to our Volunteer Manager Janet! We're so grateful to each and every volunteer that helped make this community event possible. ✨

And a big shoutout to our friends at East Cambridge Business Association for including us in this day and giving the Cambridge community a chance to come together.

We had so many meaningful conversations with community members and were excited to welcome nearly 50 new people to our Cambridge Volunteers newsletter!

One thing we heard again and again: many people want to volunteer, but don't know where to start. Helping connect people with opportunities to get involved is exactly why we do this work 💛
