Community members invited to submit nominations; Recipients to be announced monthly

As Cher almost said: “Can I hear a little commotion for the staff?” Mayor Jake Wilson is introducing the Somerville Service Award, a monthly spotlight to recognize the exceptional work of City staff who keep Somerville running. Whether it was getting a problem solved, listening and acting on your feedback, connecting you to a service, launching a whole new initiative, or just a helpful conversation over pizza at your ward’s Slice of the City, community members are invited to nominate City staff that you feel deserve recognition.

Dear Editor,

Once again, I am writing to thank the residents of Somerville for demonstrating their community spirit and commitment to sustainability by donating more than one million pounds of clothing and household goods to Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries in 2025.
