Everyday Boston’s Love Your Wicked Awesome Neighbor Challenge is a citywide invitation to celebrate the small acts of connection that make Boston feel like home. By mobilizing schools, workplaces, housing communities, senior centers, prisons, and everyday residents to make and share over 10,000 homemade Valentine’s Day cards, we turn an ordinary holiday into a citywide act of belonging.
Let’s do this, Boston!

Reaching 10,000+ Neighbors
