Organizer from Neighborhoods United Jerry Pinto says the group has been consulting with City health officials and reached a decision to reschedule the event.

A giant block party that brings together neighborhood groups and promotes police-community partnerships.

Safe Zones' annual Fill the Bus toy drive is slated for this Saturday, December 15, at multiple locations across the SouthCoast.

The event will include a tribute to fallen Massachusetts Police Officers Sgt. Sean Gannon and Sgt. Michael Chesna.

Protestors have gathered outside of New Bedford Third District Court on Wednesday morning to voice concerns over the lenience of the state's judicial system.

The 7th Annual Safe Zones Fill the Bus Toy Drive is taking place this coming Saturday, as the organization teams up with police departments in New Bedford, Acushnet, Dartmouth and Fairhaven to collect toys for local children and families that can't afford gifts.
