Welcome to this week’s edition of Community Connections!

The mission of this newsletter is to highlight small businesses, bring people together, and encourage community connections. We do this by publishing our articles on Substack, where they can be read for free. Every week, this newsletter sends you a curated selection of our articles that are most relevant for the upcoming week ahead. From local events happening in Southeastern Massachusetts to small business news, this newsletter aims to help you start every week feeling more connected with your community.

Our articles can always be found on the always-free NewsBreak App and on MSN.
