OUR MISSION:

Nobody has to go hungry

Every Friday night, approximately 100 individuals experiencing homelessness or living in poverty, have a hot, nutritious dinner at FNSP.

The Mission of the Friday Night Supper Program is to serve a hot, nutritious meal, in a safe and dignified environment, every Friday to anyone who wants one.

Our Impact

As one of the longest running supper programs in Boston, our dedicated team of volunteers has served thousands of warm, healthy meals every Friday night since 1984. We also provide seasonally appropriate clothing, blankets, toiletries and emergency supplies through our Clothing Closet. FNSP has kept its doors open every Friday even throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, adapting our meal service as needed to ensure the safety of our staff, volunteers, and guests.

EVERYONE IN NEED IS WELCOME

Our meals are served sit-down, restaurant-style in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, providing a sense of security, abundance and choice to members of the community who have limited access to these very basic essentials. Guests also have the option to take their meals “to-go.”

 

“I like to do meaningful work. FNSP gives me a great sense of community and connection. I like the feeling of accomplishment – we work together, help the people who need us, then we are done by the end of the night and everything is neatly wrapped up.”
