Monthly To-Do: Help Families in Crisis With CARE®

This one doesn’t need a ticket or an RSVP. When disaster hits, families need help long after the news moves on, and a CARE®️ monthly membership keeps food, clean water and medical supplies stocked. CARE has been doing this for 80 years and 97% of its staff live in the countries and regions where they work, so your gift gets there fast and sticks around. Setup is simple and the gift is tax-deductible. Start giving monthly.*

LOCALS ONLY

• Wheated Rivalry is back! What is it? A Heated Rivalry-themed variety show with comedy, drinks and a romance bookshop pop-up.

• Counting down the days 'til Snowport? You only have one left. Seaport's holiday market returns tomorrow with 125+ makers, more food than ever and custom cocktail bars. We're particularly intrigued by the Crafting Corner.

• Give your Thanksgiving spread a smoky upgrade, courtesy of pitmaster Andy Husbands. Saturday’s Smoke the Holidays is a hands-on BBQ class that'll have you cooking like a pro come Turkey Day.
