STORIES ABOUT 2LIFE COMMUNITIES | BOSTON, MA

See what’s happening in and around our communities.

2Life communities are vibrant places where residents, staff and volunteers are engaged in a variety of purposeful activities on any given day. They’re interacting with each other, with students and the broader community, and making a difference in the lives of others. Here we share some of the stories that make us smile and highlight how the 2Life mission is coming to life in our communities and beyond.

Merle and James Grandberg
Merle Grandberg’s relationship with and support for 2Life Communities began years ago, when her parents moved to Golda Meir House in Newton shortly before her mother passed away. “At Golda Meir House, my father became part of a community of people from similar backgrounds."
