About Community Servings

As New England's expert in home-delivered nutrition for the critically ill, Community Servings provides meals to the acutely ill, their families, and their caregivers. Our clients live in 16 cities and towns throughout eastern Massachusetts and battle over 20 different types of illnesses, including HIV/AIDS, breast and other cancers, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, liver and kidney disease, hepatitis, and lupus.

Thanks to a dedicated group of donors and volunteers, Community Servings is extremely cost-efficient: it costs just $5 a day to feed a client lunch, dinner and a snack.

In 1990, we delivered our first meal to a man dying from AIDS. After caring for the HIV/AIDS community for 14 years, we expanded to serve people with any critical illness, including mothers struggling with breast cancer, their children, and grandfathers fighting liver disease. In June 2007, Community Servings relocated to a new industrial kitchen and nutrition center, which will allow us to double the number of people we feed and offer additional programming for our sick clients.

Regardless of our growth, Community Servings will never waver from our founding goals: to help our clients maintain their health and dignity, to preserve the integrity of their families, to provide nutritionally and culturally appropriate meals, and to send the message that someone cares.
