Vigils, Benefits Planned in Wake of Marathon Bombing

Residents around the Boston area are looking for ways to help.

As the city of Boston and works to recover from Monday's bombing at the Boston Marathon, several groups, businesses and individuals around the region are trying to do their part to help, in whatever way possible.

In Waltham, just west of the city, two churches planned to hold community prayer services on Tuesday, and other vigils and services are expected to take place around the area today and later this week.

In Charlestown, Charlestown Yoga owner Kristin Quinn is donating all proceeds from her noon class on Wednesday (Karma Class, Vinyasa, open to all levels) to the bombing victims' families.
