The Community Meals program sponsored by Northborough Helping Hands Association, Inc., Northborough Food Pantry, and the Northboro Junior Woman’s Club continues to serve about 120-130 families each week. Current funding is expected to be depleted by the end of June. The community’s financial support is needed to continue to help families in need and address food insecurity in Northborough and surrounding towns.
The dinner is distributed on Wednesday evenings starting at 5 p.m. in a drive-thru format in the Trinity Church parking lot (23 Main Street). The community meal program has been a drive-thru effort since June 2020 and has been consistent throughout the pandemic.
The entrées each week are made possible through partnerships with local restaurants, who provide a to-go meal for $5 each. It costs the Community Meals program around $600 each week.
Community members donate bottled water and desserts.
Donate on line to help continue this effort through the summer. Checks can also be mailed to NHHA, P.O. Box 383, Northborough, MA 01532 with “community meals” in the memo line.
Please sign up online if you are interested in volunteering. Cases of water and desserts (homemade or store bought) are needed. Volunteers to package the meals and distribute to cars are also needed each week.
