The physical health and well-being of Boston’s residents is crucial to the vibrancy and advancement of our community. With the reopening of our largest branch in Roxbury, patrons will enjoy access to a groundbreaking—and appetizing—new resource. In addition to a freely accessible, well-appointed kitchen, the branch’s nutrition lab will offer a weekly series on healthy cooking and nutrition, as well as classes for children and families that use food as a cultural connector and a model for learning English language and math skills. Support for the BPLF makes it possible to deliver innovative programs like these at branches throughout the city.
