In the last months, the Brockton Workers Alliance has been working with Fair Foods Inc and the Trinity Baptist Church to make a Community Food Distribution. Together we have made a food pantry that we assemble every other week, and where our volunteers provide those who attend with fresh food packages for 2$ per bag. This campaign started in 2020 and it's still going on. For those interested in participating in the next calls for the food pantry, the programmed dates for April and May are shown in the picture.

For the last two years Luisa has been taking care of elderly and ill patients at their home in the suburbs of Newton Highlands, Needham and Natick.

BWA has been supporting Eloisa, connecting her to resources, and is now a part of ...
