Opportunity Details

GYSD 2015: Serve Meals at the Friday Night Supper Program

Are you under the age of 25, or volunteering with a youth who is?  Join us for Global Youth Service Day 2015! The project below is a great opportunity for youth ages 16+ to engage in service and participate in this special day of youth service.   Don't forget to share your service experience with us on social media #GYSD2015 and @BostonCares!

Volunteers are needed each week to insure the success of the meal, while also providing friendly service to our guests. There are many different jobs and they range from dishwashing, serving guests milk, to working in the clothing closet. Immediately following the meal volunteers are needed to bus the tables and clean the hall.


There is a mandatory orientation required for 1st time volunteers, and we require that you arrive by 5pm to ensure that you have time to sign in and attend orientation. If you have already volunteered with us in the past, please arrive between 4:45-5:15pm, no later than 5:30. Volunteers must wear close-toed shoes. Volunteers who arrive after 5:30 will be asked to join us on a different night.

Youth-friendly, 16+. All volunteers under 18 years old must bring a Permission Form signed by a parent or guardian to give to the Project Leader. Please email youth@bostoncares.org or call 617-422-0910 x208 if you would like to bring youth to this project. 

T-Accessible, Green Line (Arlington T-stop is right outside of the Arlington Street Church; program is located in the basement of ASC, also known as Parish Hall).


About the Friday Night Supper Program:
The Friday Night Supper Program was founded in 1984 and provides warm, nutritious meals to Boston's hungry, homeless and low income population. Since 1984, the FNSP has provided over 13,000 home-cooked meals a year to the homeless and hungry people in Boston, while doing so in a safe and hospitable environment every Friday night.

What Boston Cares members have to say about the Friday Night Supper Program:
“Friday Night Supper was a great experience. The staff/regular volunteers were helpful and interested and the people who came for dinner were friendly, appreciative, and also helpful. The different parts of the night transitioned quickly and smoothly and it was easy to stay right in the flow of things.” -Keeley Tobler
