Dorchester Bay showed up at @masscdcs` Annual Meeting alongside community development leaders committed to solving some of the toughest challenges facing our neighborhoods. The room was full of strategy, creativity, and the kind of collective resolve our field needs in this moment.
We were especially proud to cheer on our teammate Andrealis Martinez, honored with a Rising Star Award for her community-first leadership in climate justice through @fairmountcollab. A well-deserved recognition for work that is shaping Boston’s future.
We’ve delivered 452 bags of groceries, and we’re not done. Our goal is 1,000 bags by the end of the month, and 2,500 by the end of the year.

Dorchester Bay has already delivered 130 bags of groceries to households across Dorchester. Our hyper-local and in-residence distribution strategy makes sure that the needs of the elderly, non-English speaking, and differently abled are being met. We`re aiming to deliver 300 more bags this weekend, with a goal to hit 1,000 bags by the end of this month.
