Mayor Wu’s Neighborhood Coffee Hours are a unique opportunity to speak directly with the Mayor and staff from City departments about open space and their neighborhoods. If there are inclement weather conditions, the time and location may change to an indoor location and will be reflected on boston.gov/events.

A neighborhood staple known for bringing the community together over a cup of coffee, Dunkin’ is back to fuel the conversation with iced coffee and donuts. Dunkin’ will also provide lawn game activities for attendees, gift card giveaways, and the opportunity for residents to win a raffle prize. Free flowering plants will be provided by the Boston Parks and Recreation Department and fresh fruit will be provided by Star Market, while supplies last.

Community members, family, and friends will gather to commemorate Sarah-Ann Shaw's legacy as a journalist, dedicated community leader, and champion for Roxbury. This special ceremony recognizes her lasting impact by renaming the branch in her honor, ensuring her legacy of service, storytelling, and advocacy continues to inspire future generations.

The purpose of this meeting is to get community input and listen to the resident's positions on this proposal. This is a virtual meeting via Zoom. 

Meeting ID: 165 612 9529

Coffee Hours are held weekly unless otherwise noted. 

The Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services liaisons hosts weekly Coffee Hours located conveniently in each neighborhood. This is an opportunity to connect with your neighborhood liaison to receive support connecting with City departments, addressing any concerns, or just to say hello to connect joyfully. 

Neighborhood liaisons look forward to hearing how Boston can improve our neighborhoods.
