Public Benefits and Community Assistance

Our guide is a great way to learn about and connect to free and low-cost foods in Cambridge.

We offer a food services program that provides emergency food to over 16,000 individuals and families each year.

Our program is a neighborhood gathering place where housed and unhoused neighbors can mingle and get acquainted in a low-key, judgment-free setting.

We provide free and nutritionally balanced meals to Cambridge residents 18 years of age and under. There are vegetarian and non-vegetarian options offered at all meal sites!

We aim to create an environment that makes it easier for residents and people who work in the city to eat healthy and be physically active.

As part of our program, we hand out various combinations of sandwiches or bagged lunches, juice boxes, snacks, socks, some seasonal items, toiletry kits, and more to the community.

We offer warm hospitality and an evening meal in a safe, dignified environment to anyone in need of nourishment, every Tuesday evening.

Restaurant prepared hot meals served primarily to unhoused persons.

We provide meals and materials to individuals who are low-income or extremely low-income, and who are experiencing homeless, are housing insecure, or living in persistent poverty.

Our food pantry has been servicing the community for more than 40 years.
