Giving Tuesday Somerville: Call for Volunteers

Help raise $50,000 for nonprofit organizations in Somerville!

Volunteers are needed for Giving Tuesday Somerville, a collaborative fundraising effort between 15 local nonprofit organizations. The event will be a telethon at SCATV in Union Square on December 2 from 6-9 pm.

Volunteers are needed BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER the event: tasks will include helping with a phone bank, picking up donations, distributing promotional posters, and more! This is a great way to get involved with your local Somerville community and #GiveMore during the holiday season.

Please fill out this form if you are able to volunteer before, during, and/or after Giving Tuesday Somerville, and we will contact you with more info! Please email georgie@respondinc.org if you have any questions.

snow removal

The person who has been shoveling my sidewalks and short driveway for the past 5 years has moved  and I am having difficulty finding someone new.  I am looking for someone who would automatically come when it snows and come back if necessary.   I have looked on Craigslist - where I found the person last time - and at Wicked Local Somerville. Neither seemed helpful.  Any suggestions of where else I might look or any recommendations of people you have used would be greatly appreciated

ZBA decision on Crunch Gym delayed again

The Zoning Board of Appeals were scheduled to hear this case tonight and vote on it, but the applicant asked that it be postponed until their next meeting on December 10.

If you support having Crunch Gym move into the second floor of 240 Elm Street, please send e-mail to zba@somervillema.gov . Be sure to include your full name and residential address. If possible, tell them that you will walk, bike, or take public transit to the gym (which means it will have no impact on traffic or parking in Davis Square.)
