Governor-elect Maura Healey and Lieutenant Governor-elect Kim Driscoll will continue their “Team Up Massachusetts” regional inaugural events on Tuesday, Jan. 3 at 3 p.m. with a stop at the Family Table Collaborative, 1338 Route 28, South Yarmouth.
The event is intended to bring the inaugural festivities across Massachusetts, leading up to their swearing in on Jan. 5. Healey and Driscoll are hosting a series of service events to bring communities together and give back to those in need.
In partnership with Family Table Collaborative (FTC), Healey and Driscoll will package and distribute over 500 meals and produce bags.

They grew into a social enterprise dedicated to increasing nutritional security by creating sustainable change through the preparation and distribution of freshly prepared meals, partnered with nutritional education. Through social innovation, creative collaboration with community partners, and the help of an army of dedicated volunteers, FTC addresses the whole cycle of food, reduces waste and increases sustainability, in order to achieve their goals.
