The candidates for the Fourth Congressional District U.S. representative seat - Democrat Joseph Kennedy III and Republican Sean Bielat - have differing views on the role of the United States in the world and how the country's power should be exercised. Kennedy, a Brookline resident, said the United States should be aware of the nuances of the current world situation, and should act accordingly.

8% of Franklin children
With your help, the Franklin Food Pantry has an opportunity to do more. Given the numbers here, we may not be serving all of these children. There may be several reasons why. So you can help in two ways:
1 - If you know of a family that is being challenged to provide meals, let them know that the Food Pantry is available to help them. Awareness of the Pantry and its operation is a good first step to serving all that we should.
2 - You can contribute food and non-food items, volunteer your time, or make a financial contribution to help the Pantry serve your neighbors. Visit the Food Pantry website to sign up to volunteer or to make a contribution. http://www.franklinfoodpantry.org/
