CultureHouse kit chairs

January 2021–January 2022

16 Union Square, Somerville, MA

We’ve had a good run! Our CultureHouse Kits program is now closed.

In 2021, in response to COVID surges and cold weather, we created free to borrow kits to help friends and families gather safely outside. Each kit was a bag full of all the gear you wish you had but it never made sense to buy yourself! View all of our past kits below.
