The Boston Resource Center is excited to announce the grand opening celebration of "Our Shop," a peer operated Gift Shop located in the Solomon Carter Fuller Building, 85 East Newton Street, Boston, on the Boston Medical Center campus.

All profits will help the Metro Boston Recovery Learning Community to provide peer support in the Boston Area and help people recover from mental health and addictions.

Donations are still welcome and a receipt for tax deduction can be provided. Please forward this flier [PDF] to others.
