How We’ve Made a Difference

Meals for People in Need
Four PMD volunteers wearing PMD badges are sorting and packaging seed packets. They are fulfilling seed packet requests for Boston community gardens in order to help local gardeners. They are wearing PMD and gloves to handle items to follow covid-19 precautions.
Helping Community Gardens
Three PMD volunteers are carefully assembling Braille-embossed stickers onto children's books and magnets, in order to help adults and children of all abilities read together. The volunteers are working together at a long table, wearing PMD volunteer badges, and appear focused on their work.
Assembling Print-Braille Children’s Books
A line of 8 PMD Volunteers are working hard to prune shrubbery that is lining the pond at Spy Pond Park, in order to help reveal the view of the pond and improve the urban green space. They are holding long gardening pruning devices, with their backs facing the camera.
Improving Urban Greenspaces
Five PMD volunteers are facing your direction, wearing face masks, PMD volunteer badges. They jointly carry a full box of packed ziploc bags that they finished assembling for the street outreach program with Pine Street Inn. Each individual bag includes items such as hand sanitizer, lip balm, lotion, facial tissue packs, and other toiletries.
