Since June 24, Trinity Church has been providing a drive-through Community Meal every Wednesday at 6 pm. Before COVID, Community Meals served a hot meal in the building every Wednesday since its inception in January 1996 to anybody in need of a nutritious meal, or looking for community. They are now trying to fill its void, in a safe and socially distanced manner. The meals are purchased from local restaurants and handed out, along with water and dessert, to anyone who comes. This is a concerted effort between many local faith communities, community organizations, and individuals who volunteer their time and donate towards this effort.
How you can help
Various organizations have committed to monetary donations for these entrees. But, you can’t have a meal without servers, water and dessert. We are looking for volunteers to sign up to donate a case of water or 2 dozen individually wrapped desserts and/or stand in the parking lot and deliver the meals to guests in their parked cars. All guidelines of social distancing will be observed.
If you are interested in helping, please see the available opportunities and sign up here:

To donate towards the purchase of meals, please make your checks out to “Helping Hands Association” with “Community Meal” on the memo line, and mail them to Northborough Helping Hands, P.O. Box 383, Northborough, 01532.
Since its inception in January 1996 a free, full course meal has been served every Wednesday evening at 6pm to anybody who is in need of a hearty meal. Although the meals are free, a donation box is available for any donations.
