As we continue to live with #COVID19, we must provide support for residents beyond public health. The Financial Navigator Program allows us to expand our work connecting residents with free financial resources to help tackle the unique challenges brought on by this crisis. https://t.co/kMD9zjXjBe — PolitiTweet.org

🧸🎁Throughout the holiday season, please consider donating to @Toys4TotsBoston. This year the need is especially great, as many more families are struggling with the essentials. You can drop off new, unwrapped toys at locations across the city. Visit: https://t.co/vqdWaxB57p. — PolitiTweet.org

Today is #WorldAIDSDay. We recognize and thank the health care workers who have worked tirelessly to treat HIV and AIDS, support those suffering, remember the lives we’ve lost, and collectively fight to end the stigma. https://t.co/yWCYNAIlpy — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We are a resilient city of resilient people and we are going to get through this challenge together. Thank you to all of the Bostonians who are supporting each other and showing what it means to be Boston strong. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Since April, the Fund has delivered over $29 million in essential needs to our most vulnerable neighbors, including: ✅#COVID19 testing, ✅food, ✅gift cards, ✅and home learning technology. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

If you are looking for ways to give back today or any day, please consider donating to the #BostonResiliencyFund. https://t.co/pzncf34b8h. https://t.co/pmFsIhf8of — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Today is #GivingTuesday and this year, the need in our communities is greater than ever before. At the same time, I’ve seen the resilience and generosity in our community and in residents that come together to support each other. https://t.co/ddxZFsrJVK — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Let’s dig deep and make sure those who are in need feel the love in our community, over the holidays and for as long as it takes. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

So I want to thank everyone for all you’ve done and are doing, to help us get this far. We did it by leaning on each other and looking out for each other, and caring for the most vulnerable. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Today is December 1. We are nine months into a pandemic. We have the winter ahead of us. There is light at the end of the tunnel, but there’s a lot of work to do to get there. And I know Boston can do it. We’re a strong city and a compassionate city. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

It’s a good time to give, if you can, because doing something for others is often the best way to deal with stressful times. We are all feeling some degree of stress these days. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We’re going to have locations across the city where you can drop off new, unwrapped toys, including at many city buildings. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We can’t have the in-person toy drives we usually have, so we all need to work harder than ever to make sure we reach every child and family. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

That’s why one of our most meaningful partners at this time of year is @ToysForTots_USA. It’s the annual toy drive led by the U.S. Marine Corps. We work with Toys for Tots because we don’t want any child or family to be left out of the holiday joy. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We’re also entering the Holiday season, and that’s a tough time for a lot of families. This year, more families are struggling just to meet their basic needs like food and rent. Buying toys and gifts is going to be beyond the reach of many. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Since April, the Fund has delivered over $29 million to 350 nonprofits that serve their neighbors, with #COVID19 testing, food, gift cards, and home learning technology. But there is much more work to be done and the work continues. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

In most cases, the work is being done by people in the community, who know the community and reflect the cultures of the community. We’ve gotten to see that up close this year through the work done by #BostonResiliencyFund grantees. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

At the same time, the opportunities to help meet those needs are more numerous than ever as well. Many nonprofits and community organizations are doing incredible work in our neighborhoods. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Finally, today is the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, and that means it’s #GivingTuesday. This year, the needs in our communities are greater than they have been in a long time. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

By growing our economy and carefully managing your tax money, we held onto these perfect bond ratings every year since then. This year, in a much tougher economy, we have maintained this strong financial position. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

2014 was the first time Boston received perfect ratings from both Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I have good news to share about how we are managing City finances during this challenging time. Last week, both of our credit rating agencies assigned the @CityofBoston perfect, AAA bond ratings, with a stable outlook moving forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

In addition to English, Financial Navigators are able to help in Haitian Creole, Spanish, and Portuguese. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Bostonians can access the Financial Navigators by completing a form available on https://t.co/HZpRonHTrh, which is our Office of Financial Empowerment. You can also call 617-356-8229 to sign up for help, or call 311 and ask about our Financial Navigators program. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

There are many programs out there designed for the needs that residents are currently experiencing, but too many people are not aware of these programs, or don’t realize they qualify. The Navigators can help with that. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Bostonians get a free, half-hour phone consultation with one of our Navigators. They are trained to help you get access to the relief and services you need. — PolitiTweet.org
