Mission Statement
Community Servings’ mission is to actively engage the community to provide medically tailored, nutritious, scratch-made meals to chronically and critically ill individuals and their families. We envision a world in which everyone has access to the nutritious food they need for health and wellbeing as a fundamental right. Rooted in our work are the core values of community, connection, inclusion, and nourishment.
About This Cause
Community Servings was founded in 1990 by a diverse coalition of AIDS activists, faith groups, and community organizations to provide home-delivered meals to individuals living with HIV/AIDS. In June 2004,we expanded our mission beyond the HIV/AIDS community and now serve as an emergency feeding program to the acutely ill, their dependents, and caregivers, regardless of illness. Today, we serve clients in 21 cities and towns who are battling more than 35 different types of illnesses, including breast and other cancers, multiple sclerosis, AIDS, Parkinson’s Disease, liver and kidney disease, hepatitis, and lupus. Ninety-fourpercent of our clientslivein poverty. As we celebrate 29years in operation this year, we have served over 8.5million meals to the critically ill since 1990, helping those from Massachusetts’ most disenfranchised communities fight hunger and illness. This year,we will serve more than 625,000 meals to 2,200 people affected by a life-threatening illness. As part of our broader nutrition education program, we will provide 6,000hours of nutrition education to more than 2,300 individuals affected by a critical or chronic illness.
