Greater Ashmont Main Street's mission is to further develop the Greater Ashmont district as a vibrant and resilient community in which all may find joy and a sense of belonging.

To celebrate Dr. King’s birthday, Boston Cares' aims to focus on different aspects of civic engagement by bringing the community together through service over MLK Weekend. One way to engage is to practice purchase power, in which we choose where we do and don’t spend our money. Through this we aim to recognize how we can support small businesses, particularly those that are BIPOC and immigrant-owned. Join Greater Ashmont Main Street in a neighborhood walking tour to visit local businesses and restaurants, in which you can learn history about the community and enjoy food samples along the way! 

MBTA Line Accessibility: The Ashmont Station on the Red Line. 

At Boston Cares, we recognize that diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamental values that guide our mission and work. Boston Cares is committed to creating a community where everyone is valued, respected, and can come and participate as their authentic selves. We expect that all volunteers and partners join us in promoting a safe and supportive space for everyone.
