Clean Up Chinatown Day of Service

Student volunteers from Boston University, as well as AACA staff and City Councilor Ed Flynn, held a day of service to help clean the streets of Chinatown. On Sunday September 26, the group gathered at the Chinatown Gate before giving back to the community by helping to keep it healthy and clean. Various efforts to help clean Chinatown have been pushed for over the years, including the Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center’s We Love Boston campaign, Tufts University partnerships and the City of Boston’s Love Your Block program.
