  • Description: A program of First Parish in Cambridge, the mission of the Tuesday Meals Program is to offer warm hospitality and an evening meal in a safe, dignified environment to anyone in need of nourishment. In 1987, responding to a growing need for hunger relief programs, a coalition of Cambridge churches committed themselves to offering a meal to those in need every night of the week; First Parish in Cambridge was chosen to provide a meal on Tuesdays. What started as a group of First Parish members making a meal to serve 15 men and women on Tuesday evenings has evolved into a program serving 95 to 140 people each week with a number of professional staff and drawing on volunteers from all over the Greater Boston Area. We gladly welcome you to be a part of this continuing history. The Tuesday Meals Program (TMP) strives to: Approach our service as an extension of the mission of First Parish in Cambridge; Provide healthy, nourishing, delicious meals; Ensure that guests and volunteers are in a safe and welcoming environment; Uphold sanitation and health standards for food preparation and service; Solicit and respond to suggestions for improvement from guests and volunteers; Empower staff to make daily decisions within the scope of their job responsibilities; Recognize program and financial oversight from the TMP Advisory Group.
