Youth citywide accept #HydrantChallenge and tackle snow

After last week's nor'easter that brought in close to 20 inches of snow, Councilor O’Malley is back at it again with the Hydrant Challenge! 

For three winters, the challenge has encouraged youth to shovel out a fire hydrant and have their parents post a before and after photo on social media, using the hashtag #HydrantChallenge. Upon completion of the challenge, Councilor O’Malley rewards each child with a $5 gift card to J.P Licks!

One hundred children participated in the challenge during the last storm. Councilor O’Malley said, "I am thrilled to help spread civic engagement and public safety awareness among young Bostonians and delighted to treat them to a JP Lick's ice cream after their service to their neighborhood."

There are rumors swirling that Boston may get hit with another storm this week. If that is the case, Councilor O’Malley and youth citywide will be ready to take on the challenge!
