5 Things You Need To Know Today in Framingham: Tuesday, October 19, 2021

1 Residents can learn about Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) and a Framingham Acts of Kindness Week (Oct. 20-27) honoring Devin Suau (a 6-year-old Framingham resident who passed away from DIPG in 2017) during a community hour on Zoom with Mayor Yvonne Spicer and Christine Soutter.

The goal is to continue expanding the popular program to isolated seniors as well as those from underrepresented communities.
