Community Servings is Greater Boston’s free, home-delivered meals program for individuals and families ill with HIV/AIDS or other acute life-threatening illnesses.

• In the fall of 1989, the American Jewish Congress brought together over 70 community and social service organizations to design a meals program for individuals and families living in Boston sick with AIDS.
• In January 1990, we delivered our first hot meal, delivering 30 meals a day.
• In March 1992, we opened a small kitchen in Dorchester
• In June 1997, Community Servings moved to a new, industrial kitchen in Roxbury.
• In January 1999, we expanded delivery to Cambridge and Somerville and started delivering 300 meals a day.
• In November 2000, Community Servings began delivering lunch in addition to dinner each day.
• In June 2004, we expanded our mission to include individuals and families struggling with any type of acute life-threatening illness, such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, Lou Gehrig’s disease and lupus.

Today, Community Servings delivers 3175 lunches and 3175 dinners every week.
We serve 635 individuals and families who are homebound with an acute life-threatening illness in Boston, Braintree, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Lynn, Malden, Medford, Quincy, Randolph, Revere, Somerville, Weymouth, and Winthrop.
