Boston’s biggest toy drive brings holiday magic

Nothing says community spirit like seeing 20,000 toys and piles of warm winter clothes packed up for Boston kids who need it most. This year, IBEW Local 103 volunteers went all out—filling trucks with everything from bikes to Hot Wheels, making sure no child is left out this holiday season. With families facing extra challenges, it’s powerful to see neighbors, union members, and even the mayor’s office teaming up to spread some real joy. How do you think efforts like this shape our neighborhoods? Have you ever been part of a local drive or seen its impact firsthand? #Safety #Boston #Community

Denver mosque opens doors to all

The Downtown Denver Islamic Center is breaking down barriers by inviting everyone—regardless of background—to visit and experience their mosque firsthand. Imam Mohammad Kolila says the goal is to show that mosques are welcoming spaces, not mysterious or exclusive. With rising anti-Islamic sentiment across the country, this open invitation is a step toward building understanding and trust in the community. The mosque emphasizes safety and accessibility for all, from kids to elders and those with disabilities. What do you think about places of worship taking such proactive steps to connect with their neighbors? #Religion #Denver #Community

I got pulled over, but the officer didn't give me a ticket.

I was speeding, rushing to get last-minute gifts. The officer pulled me over, saw the backseat full of donations for the orphanage, and sighed. He put his pad away and said, "Slow down. The kids need these gifts, but they need you to arrive safely too." #Police #Community Policing #Humanity #ChristmasRush

My card got declined, and the lady behind me quietly paid the $20 difference.

It was my worst nightmare: buying ingredients for Christmas dinner, and "Insufficient Funds" popped up. As I started to put the ham back, the lady behind me swiped her card. "Merry Christmas," was all she said. I cried in my car. That $20 wasn't just ham; it was dignity. #RandomActOfKindness #ChristmasMiracle #Gratitude #Community

Family Isn't Only Blood. We Patched Together 5 Kinds of Homesickness for Hot Pot.

We posted online: "Spending Christmas alone? Come for hot pot." Five strangers showed up. A student who just broke up, a worker who couldn't afford a flight home. We split the bill for groceries. No fancy Wagyu, but when the steam rose and we shared stories in different accents, this cold rental felt like home. Lonely people together create warmth. #HotPot #Friendsmas #Homesick #Community
