Brookline Thrives updates & needs, week of Sept 25 - 29

Posted: 9/25/2023 4:41 pm

From Sharon Brockmann, Brookline Thrives Manager:

This week, we kick off our newsletter with a big shout out to Laurie and Steve, owners of Livite on Beacon Street. For the past few weeks we've been testing out new, lighter paper bags, provided by Livite, for packing our weekend bags. The verdict is in... volunteers and students LOVE them! The new bags are easier to pack, easier to carry and hold all the same great stuff. And they cost less too. It's a win, win, win for everyone.
