FNSP Spring Emergency Appeal

As we face the Covid-19 pandemic, we know that our guests need the Friday Night Supper Program (FNSP) now more than ever.   Our guests are some of Boston’s most vulnerable citizens - the hungry and homeless - many of whom face a constant struggle for food.  In these unprecedented times, we have adapted our service to a takeaway format, providing our guests not just food, but also a continued sense of community and camaraderie.  

FNSP has been serving hot, nutritious meals in a in a safe and dignified environment to anyone in need every Friday night for over 36 years.  While the covid-19 crisis has forced us to restructure our service, we still continue our mission.  Rain or shine, we provide our guests a nutritious takeaway meal, a place to wash their hands, a smile and comforting words from our volunteers.  As safe access to food is even more challenging during this crisis, we have included non-perishable food items with each takeaway meal.    Safety is our number one priority ensuring both our guests and volunteers maintain appropriate social distancing.  

Our guests are immensely grateful that we are still here for them. Many of them have expressed that they feel largely forgotten during this crisis and afraid to congregate and be exposed to the virus. We are grateful to continue to be here for them. But we need YOUR help to continue!

With the adapted food service and addition of non-perishable food items, our grocery costs have gone up by more than 40%.  Moreover, the crisis has forced us to cancel our annual spring fundraising gala, which represents a significant portion of our annual revenue. We have a big gap to fill!
