Brookline Thrives Updates & Needs, Week of March 27 - 31, 2023

Posted: 3/27/2023 12:02 pm

We hope you all enjoyed the weekend and enjoying the longer days of sunlight.

There are a few slots open for this week, however there are MANY slots open for the following week, April 3rd-7th. That’s actually an unusual week where the schools are closed on Friday so all the packing dates are moved up a day. That week we pack on the Tuesday 4th April at 9am, 5pm and 7pm; and on the Wednesday 5th April at 9am. Please check the signup to see if the days you signed up for still work out for you. Also it would really help if everyone can check the signup to see if you can fill any of the vacant slots we have.
