Bridge Forward

🎄✨ This holiday season, help us bring joy to families who need it most. ✨🎄

If you’re able to support a family this season, please consider stopping by a Juicygreens location over the next few days to donate a new, unwrapped toy, or make a monetary gift at

This toy drive is a collaboration between Bridge Forward and Juicygreens — founded by two longtime friends, college classmates, and community advocates who share a deep commitment to showing up for our neighbors with care and dignity. 💕

📍 Juicygreens locations include: Jamaica Plain, TD Garden, Assembly Row, Westwood, and more. 🥥🍇🍉☕️

Every toy, every donation, and every act of kindness helps make the season brighter for children from immigrant families across Boston. Thank you for being part of this community. 💛

This past Sunday, our Emergency Food & Winter Gear Drive and Distribution was a true reminder of what community looks like in action. 💛 donate to help us cover costs and so we can do this again since relief has not come through for families 🥺 www.bridgeforward.org/donate

Thanks to the incredible generosity of donors, volunteers, and partners, we were able to serve nearly 300 individuals and families with groceries, warm winter gear, and gift cards, ensuring that our neighbors head into the colder months with a little more comfort and care.
