Public Benefits and Community Assistance

Our guide is a great way to learn about and connect to free and low-cost foods in Cambridge.

We offer a food services program that provides emergency food to over 16,000 individuals and families each year.

Safehome: Up to 1 month stay in a confidential location for an individual or family.
Transitional Housing: Up to two years of rental assistance for up to 16 survivors and their families.

We aim to create an environment that makes it easier for residents and people who work in the city to eat healthy and be physically active.

As part of our program, we hand out various combinations of sandwiches or bagged lunches, juice boxes, snacks, socks, some seasonal items, toiletry kits, and more to the community.

Restaurant prepared hot meals served primarily to unhoused persons.

We provide free and nutritionally balanced meals to Cambridge residents 18 years of age and under. There are vegetarian and non-vegetarian options offered at all meal sites!

Our food pantry has been servicing the community for more than 40 years.
