Help thaw the winter chill by donating items to support students facing homelessness. University Station has partnered with School on Wheels of Massachusetts to host a Winter, Warmth & Wellness Donation Drive. Items needed include new and unused cozy blankets, hats and gloves, warm socks, hand sanitizer + more. Donations can be left in the donation bin located at Five Below through March 12th. School on Wheels provides one-on-one academic support program to Massachusetts children impacted by homelessness. Since the start of the 2021/2022 academic year, SOWMA has distributed more than 6,000 new customized, grade-level backpacks to children and at-risk youth living in 38 Massachusetts communities. For more information on the donation drive, visit ShopUniversityStation.com.

This is progress and I am glad to see the Select Board moving in the right direction.  However, a majority of voters at last Monday's Special Town Meeting voted to recommend that the Select Board immediately cease its lawsuit against the Westwood Land Trust.
What is the citizen's petition about? I checked the town website, and the only information I could find on town meeting articles was from last year. The public hearing dates for 2026 are posted as February 24-25.
Apparently, you need to submit a public records request through the town's FOIA portal. Â What a shame, since it should have been posted to the town website upon certification of petition signatures.
Westwood Minute has obtained a copy of the petition and has added a short description of it to the article. A copy of the petition is attached below the article.
