BOSTON (
WBZ NewsRadio) — Thursday marks eight years since the Boston Marathon bombing -- and to honor the victims and heroes of that day, the city is asking people to show each other some love for "One Boston Day."
The city said although the Covid-19 pandemic means residents can't mark the day together in person this year, people are encouraged to perform acts of kindness for one another.
Some of the suggestions from the city and Boston Public Schools include:
Thanking first responders and healthcare workers
Donating money or volunteering with a local charity
Giving food to the Greater Boston Food Bank
