Superior Court, Probate and Family Court, Juvenile Court, Housing Court, the Registry of Deeds, Court Officers, Maintenance, and the Resource Center staff shared foods from many cultural backgrounds. The event featured a powerful guest speaker from Drug Court, whose story reflected this year’s theme: “Access and Justice: We Stand Together.”
