What are you most concerned about in our community? How can we make Hingham more welcoming to all? When the HUC was formed in 2019, we had an open meeting with interested community members at the Hingham Community Center to have this discussion and it’s time to get together again! Come join us, enjoy some light snacks and libations, and share your thoughts about our community to shape our future programming.
