As one of Boston’s largest volunteer programs, we make and home-deliver over 1,000,000 meals annually.
All new kitchen volunteers receive a 20-minute orientation and food safety training at the start of their first shift. Once in the kitchen, you’ll help our team peel and chop veggies, portion soups, stews, and salads, and pack meal bags for our clients.
Every week, we prepare 20,000+ medically tailored meals for people and families across Massachusetts impacted by HIV/AIDS, cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and more.
Most clients receive a weekly delivery of five days’ worth of scratch-made lunches, dinners, and snacks that YOU help prepare!
