Welcome to the BE Board Community Service Wiki! We are currently planning some events and would greatly appreciate and consider any recommendations or ideas you may have. Please email Lisa Joslin, at joslin@mit.edu with your suggestions.
Past Events
October 19th, Wednesday, 5-8pm, at Community Servings in Roxbury. We brought a group of four excited BE folks to prepare and package meals that will be delivered to individuals and families in the Boston area living with AIDS and other acute life-threatening illnesses.
We had a great time and look forward to working at Community Servings in the future!

Future Events
Tentative: December 10th, Habitat for Humanity workday. http://web.mit.edu/habitat/www/workdays.html
Mid December: Drive for toys and gifts for Christmas in the City - they're a local organization that puts on a huge holiday party for homeless kids and arranges to get them gifts. The event they put on is really impressive, last year they had ~2500 kids from area shelters, and the party includes a huge carnival area with carousel rides, moonwalks, a petting zoo, pony rides, players from the NE Revolution playing soccer with the kids (and on and on). You can see more information about the group at:

Early Spring: Bread and Jams Sunday Meal, date TBD
April 17th, Monday, Boston Marathon (early registration is required, I will submit a group request this November).
Thanks! Lisa--Your BE Board Community Service Chair.
