Welcome to the Mission Hill Health Movement!
The Mission Hill Health Movement (MHHM), established in 1970 and incorporated as a 501c3, is a volunteer group that works to ensure a livable environment and a healthy quality of life for all our residents.
Our mission has evolved from that of creating and ‘spinning off’ services which can continue to function independently (e.g. elderly housing, school dental programs, pre- and after-school services) to a model in which MHHM develops and maintains ongoing programs, including an annual Health Fair and an annual Healthy Food Festival.
We address broad issues which affect our neighborhood to improve the quality of health in and of Mission Hill and to build a health-supporting place for all to live and work. We value and use collaboration, engagement, education and advocacy.

Farmers Markets are here!
From June 17 through Halloween -- or Thanksgiving, weather permitting -- the Mission Hill Farmers Markets will be held: every Tuesday from 1 - 7pm on the plaza in front of the Roxbury Crossing T Station, and every Thursday from 11am-6pm at the Veterans Memorial in Brigham Circle.
Fair Foods' $2 a bag program has come to Mission Hill!
Fair Foods is partnering with the Mission Hill Health Movement to bring their $2/bag program.
We started on Wednesday, May 7, and through the summer, and hopefully beyond, Fair Foods will be at the Tobin Community Center every other Wednesday from 4:30-5:30 pm.
Fair Foods is a non-profit rescue organization dedicated to providing surplus goods at low or no cost to those in need. Since 1988 the organization has been building relationships with produce distributors who then donate surplus food that Fair Foods distributes throughout the Boston Metro area.
