The Friday Cafe

WHO WE ARE

The Friday Café at First Church in Cambridge is a weekly community gathering where homeless and food-insecure neighbors can relax, eat, and socialize with volunteers. Our mission is to bring people together who might not normally have a chance to get to know each other, and the main way we do that is through food—breaking down barriers as we break bread together. We also offer clothing, hygiene items, books, and nap space.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Volunteers are needed to help in the kitchen, serve food, assist at the clothing tables, and spend time with guests. We have 3 shifts: 11:00–2:00 (kitchen), 12:00–2:30 (set-up and opening) and 2:15–5:30 (closing and clean-up). Orientation is included in the shift, and plenty of team support is provided.
