Charles River Chamber launches month-long Love Local campaign
Jan. 31, 2023 -- The Charles River Regional Chamber is launching a month-long campaign in February designed to support the restaurant community in Newton, Needham, Watertown and
Wellesley, while also helping those in need.
The Love Local: Supporting Our Restaurants & Our Community campaign is designed to encourage dining locally at a time when restaurants continue to struggle in a challenging economy.
In addition, about 30 area chamber member restaurants are organizing a clothing drive to give back while visiting their favorite restaurants.
“While Valentine’s Day may be a traditional day to dine out – the Love Local campaign runs all month long with multiple ways to support our restaurants and the community during this short, cold month when all could use a little bit of a boost,” said Chamber President Greg Reibman.
Donation boxes at participating restaurant locations spread throughout all four communities will be accepting NEW sweatshirts, sweatpants, t-shirts and other items to help in the cold winter months.
All collections will benefit Circle of Hope, a Needham-based nonprofit that provides homeless children, women and men in Boston, Cambridge and Metrowest with clothing and necessities via 25 local shelters and health clinics.
“We are looking for donations of new t-shirts, sweatshirts, leggings, sweatpants, fleeces, anything that people can use in these chilly spring months in New England,” said Christine Ruddy, Grants and Community Engagement Specialist at Circle of Hope.
“It’s a wonderful way to be able to reach out and help people who live so close but may need an extra helping hand. We’re so grateful for this partnership with the Charles River Chamber,” Ruddy added.
Monetary donations will also be accepted via QR at all participating locations and online.
“We and every restaurateur love being a part of the local community and being a place where people gather and celebrate” said Nancy Cushman, proprietor at Bianca at The Street at Chestnut Hill and one of the participating restauranters who helped organize the clothing drive.
“We’re excited to add this charitable component to the Love Local campaign where we are inviting folks to bring in an item of new clothing to donate to Circle of Hope,” said Cushman. “This is one more way that we can be a conduit to help provide more for our community.”

The “Love Local” initiative is sponsored by Volante Farms and Boston Showcase Company.
