Food For Free

Food For Free believes everyone should have access to healthy, fresh foods.

Their programs include home delivery for those without access to transportation or a kitchen. If you're looking for a way to help that is social-distance-friendly, Food For Free accepts food and monetary donations. They also need volunteers to help prepare the meals and deliver them to the community.

The Cambridge Community Foundation
