Tracy Chang: Celebrating Community Impact in Central Square

This video vignette is part of our "In Central I Can" campaign, which celebrates the vibrant and entrepreneurial spirit of Central Square. Central Square is not just a location; it's a hub of action and self-actualization, where individuals from diverse backgrounds and across generations come together to pursue their dreams. In this campaign, we spotlight individuals who share how this neighborhood has profoundly influenced their personal and professional journeys.

One remarkable story featured in our campaign is that of Tracy Chang, the founder of Pagu, a multifaceted establishment located at 301 Mass Ave. Pagu is more than just a restaurant; it serves as a community anchor and a catalyst for positive change.

During the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, Pagu transformed into the headquarters for Tracy Chang and her team's two non-profit initiatives. These initiatives swiftly responded to the urgent needs of the food-insecure populations in hospitals and neighborhoods across Boston. Through their grassroots efforts, they provided essential support and nourishment to those in need.

Even today, Tracy Chang and her team continue their impactful work through initiatives like the Roundtable series. This ongoing series not only celebrates the power of collective action but also serves as a testament to what can be achieved when individuals come together for a common cause.

Tracy Chang's story exemplifies the resilience, compassion, and community spirit that define Central Square. It showcases how individuals and businesses in this neighborhood go above and beyond to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
