Our 2026 Summer Reading Program Plant a Seed, Read kicks off on June 15, with reading programs for kids, teens, and adults!

The food pantry is again offering our Fuel Up for Summer program to help families provide nutritious, free lunches and snacks for kids during the summer vacation, packaged appropriately so that they can bring them to summer camp/daycare programs.

The program starts this year on July 14th. Last year over 150 families participated.

Summer is a time to make the most out of the outdoors. Here are a few simple precautions to make your seasonal activities as safe as they are fun! T️h

 

Prevent Tick Bites: Use EPA-registered repellents. Check yourself, your child, and pets for ticks once a day. If you find one attached, remove it promptly using fine tweezers or a tick removal tool. For more information, please visit mass.gov/mosquitoes-and-ticks.

 

Prevent Mosquito Bites: Eliminate standing water around your home, repair window, and door screens, and use appropriate insect repellents. Stay up to date on local risk.

 

Heat Safety: Stay hydrated and limit outdoor activities during peak hours (10 A.M. - 4 P.M.). Keep cool with air conditioning, cool showers, or by visiting air conditioned spaces like a mall or library. Check on your neighbors too. Stay Safe in Extreme Heat!

 

Sun Protection: Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, wear protective clothing, and seek shade.

 

For more information and to read about helmet, window, car, water and pool safety, as well as rabies prevention, go to MDPH’s Summer Safety Guidance.

For more than a year, a broad coalition of Wayland residents, students, volunteers, and community organizations has been working together to create a new mural at the Wayland Community Pool — a space that has been repeatedly targeted by hate graffiti.

This project brings together the Wayland Community Pool, Arts Wayland, WaylandCAN, the Wayland Human Rights, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee, Wayland High School students and staff, faith-based partners, and many dedicated community members with one shared goal: transforming a site of harmful, threatening messages into a visually welcoming mural, reflective of the community values that connect our town.

We're honored to be partnering with muralist and Wayland High School graduate Lena McCarthy Art to help bring this vision to life.

We've successfully raised half of our fundraising goal and are now asking for your help to close the remaining gap.

Donations will support artist materials, wall preparation, installation, community participation events, and preservation of the mural for years to come.

Every donation matters, so please give what you can.
