Office of Participatory Budgeting   Dear Boston Residents, We’re excited to announce the launch of the new cycle of Ideas in Action, the City’s Participatory Budgeting initiative! Idea Collection starts on July 1st and goes until July 31st. This is a chance to share your ideas on how to spend $2 million of the City’s budget to benefit our communities. Stay tuned on ways to share your ideas online, via phone, and in-person at events and locations throughout the City. Your input is needed to help identify community solutions to the issues that matter most to you and your neighbors. Visit Boston.gov/participate for more information and to stay tuned for upcoming cycle updates. ACTION ALERT PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION UPDATE Neighborhood Fresh Food Access Initiative (Voted by Boston residents in February 2026): The Office of Food Justice is using Participatory Budgeting funds to support their Boston Farmers Market Coupon Program initiative. This initiative boosts residents' purchasing power and supports local farmers by providing coupons for use at 18 neighborhood markets. The program makes fresh, healthy food—produce, protein, and seafood—more accessible to Boston residents. Applications are open from June 8th until June 28th! Residents can apply in 3 ways: Online: Apply directly online at boston.gov/farmers-market-coupon In-Person Enrollment Assistance Sites: These sites will be responsible for helping residents apply in person, answer any questions about the program, and have staff that can speak one or more of the threshold languages of the City of Boston. Note: BPL will be supporting residents who show up at a branch with applying as staff capacity allows. Phone Line: Residents can call 3-1-1 if they need assistance. This option will have interpretation assistance for residents. Have more questions? Visit boston.gov/farmers-market-coupon. This site will link to the application and FAQ about the program. 🏆 See project updates from past cycles here. Thank you, Office of Participatory Budgeting Can’t see the email?
