Welcome Blanket is a nationwide project that delivers handmade blankets to recent immigrants and refugees in the United States, in the hopes of providing a warm welcome. BIG's community journalism team speaks with Hadassah Margolis, Welcome Blanket's Chief Operating Officer, to learn about the project's Brookline chapter.
BIG also recently launched #IAmBrookline, a weekly media series delving into the Brookline identity. The project gives Brookline residents and visitors a platform to share their stories about growing up, living, working, and studying in Brookline.
