Headline text against a brick wall background reads 'Bringing people in Greater Boston together for community service.' Six PMD volunteers in a candid photo are working on a community service project together, passing materials to each other down an assembly line that they formed. They are working hard, wearing work gloves, and smiling with each other. They are standing on a wooden platform with the PMD platform that reads: do something good, make new friends, learn something new.

Two People Making a Difference (PMD) PMD volunteers pack toiletries & snacks for street outreach bags in 2025

How We’ve Made a Difference

Three PMD volunteers in a cafeteria-style kitchen, preparing food on meal trays to serve to people in need. They are smiling and concentrating on the task. They are wearing PMD aprons, PMD name tags, and wearing disposable gloves for food service.
Meals for People in Need
Four PMD volunteers wearing PMD badges are sorting and packaging seed packets. They are fulfilling seed packet requests for Boston community gardens in order to help local gardeners. They are wearing PMD and gloves to handle items to follow covid-19 precautions.
Helping Community Gardens
Three PMD volunteers are carefully assembling Braille-embossed stickers onto children’s books and magnets, in order to help adults and children of all abilities read together. The volunteers are working together at a long table, wearing PMD volunteer badges, and appear focused on their work.
Assembling Print-Braille Children’s Books
A line of 8 PMD Volunteers are working hard to prune shrubbery that is lining the pond at Spy Pond Park, in order to help reveal the view of the pond and improve the urban green space. They are holding long gardening pruning devices, with their backs facing the camera.
Improving Urban Greenspaces
Five PMD volunteers are facing your direction, wearing face masks, PMD volunteer badges. They jointly carry a full box of packed ziploc bags that they finished assembling for the street outreach program with Pine Street Inn. Each individual bag includes items such as hand sanitizer, lip balm, lotion, facial tissue packs, and other toiletries.
Packing Street Outreach Supplies
6 PMD volunteers are seated at a table in the front of a classroom, with a blank projector screen behind them, and laptops, projectors, wires, papers, and a digital clock in front of them on the table. They are volunteering at a school science bowl event where they help run the rounds as moderators, science judges, rule judges, scorekeepers, time keepers.
