UPDATE: We donated $600 worth of wool socks purchased at Hilton's Tent City. And then another $250 worth of wool socks! Thank you to the community to for making this happen! Because we are huge fans of Mayor Sumbul Siddiqui and Vice Mayor Alanna Mallon we wanted to highlight the “Warm Hearts for Warm Feet Wool Sock Drive”. This initiative will be continuing for the second year in a row. From Monday, January 28, until Thursday, February 14, folx can drop off new pairs of adult wool socks to Cambridge City Hall at 795 Massachusetts Ave or Cambridge Police Headquarters...

UPDATE: We donated $650 to the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal! Thank you for helping us kick off 2020's We Care Wednesday initiative!

The final installation of our Inman Holiday Market Gift Guide is here. The twelfth guide features gifts you should just pick up for yourself.
