SNAP and MassHealth Support
Thousands of Cambridge residents are being impacted by federal changes to SNAP and MassHealth eligibility. The City of Cambridge, Cambridge Economic Opportunity Committee, the Cambridge Community Foundation, and more than 30 community partners have created a coordinated network to help residents understand the changes, re-enroll in benefits if they are still eligible, and other resources to help them.

Freedom of Expression: A Movement Workshop (O'Neill)
It’s an act of rebellion to use your body in a public space, articulating power and transcending awkwardness or beauty. Two community workshops, led by Professor of Dance Christine Bennett, will involve movement as a path toward understanding and resiliency in our own bodies and community spaces. The workshops are appropriate for all movers ages 18 and up. Register for one or both workshops.
