Working Together for an Equitable, Inclusive, Innovative City
In Cambridge, fall means 'back to school' and at CCF we're in full swing with a boost in the gatherings and programs that make our city a uniquely vibrant, civically-engaged community. We continue to friend and fund-raise for local immigrants needing legal defense and residents seeking services from our nonprofit partners. This month, we received a record number of proposals from 80 nonprofits seeking grants from our Community Fund to support issues ranging from hunger and homelessness, to education, and an array of programs that create a pathway for Cambridge residents to achieve their dreams. Fall grants will be distributed to selected nonprofits in November. And, thanks to the generosity of our donors, we've raised nearly $200,000 through the Cambridge Legal Defense Fund for Immigrants. We will be distributing a first round of grants to legal defense organizations supporting immigrants soon.

In the meantime, we've been thinking about what makes Cambridge, well, Cambridge. Across the globe, our city is known for its world-class universities, thinkers, and innovators. Locally, we're known for the caring people who call Cambridge home. We know, that by working together, we can tackle the social problems we face and make Cambridge a truly equitable city.

Cambridge Flu Clinics 
The flu (influenza) can be a serious illness. The best way to protect yourself and your loved ones from influenza is for all adults and children over 6 months old to get a flu shot every year. Cambridge Public Health is offering free flu shots at:

• Kennedy-Longfellow School - Wednesday, October 24 from 5:30 - 7:30PM in the cafeteria
• Peabody School - Wednesday, November 7 from 5:30 - 7:30PM in the gym.

There is no charge, but please bring your health insurance card if possible. For more information and the full list of flu clinics, visit our website or call the recorded flu clinic info line, 617.665.3855.

Cambridge Bicycle Safety
Does your child bike to school? Do you bike with your child to school? Would you or your child like to get around by bike but feel it is not safe?

Cambridge Bicycle Safety is an all-volunteer group of Cambridge residents who are asking for safer bike lanes and a complete network of protected lanes throughout Cambridge. Separated lanes in the last two years--Cambridge, Brattle and sections of Mass Ave--have been the result of people in the community organizing. But we need more voices.
We are looking for stories of parents and their children who bike or would like to bike. If you have a story and want to learn more, email us.
