FRAMINGHAM – The City of Framingham and its Public Schools announced the closure of the Library, Callahan Center, Loring Arena and all Framingham Public Schools effective Friday, March 13, through Sunday, March 29, to minimize the spread of COVID-19.

To ensure food access to vulnerable populations across the City, the Mayor’s Office and the Framingham Public Schools convened an emergency stakeholder meeting with community partners to develop a plan, coordinating food access and delivery to Framingham residents.

The group will continue to meet regularly to monitor food access across the city as we respond to COVID-19.
