Local Support For Mt. Calvary Community Supper During Action Hunger Month

SEPTEMBER IS ACTION HUNGER MONTH

MT CALVARY COMMUNITY SUPPER IS SEEKING YOUR HELP

During the month of September the Nation will be focusing on asking all to take action to feed the hungry in America. On our local level, Mt. Calvary Community Supper, the only community supper in Acton, asks for your support. The dinner is served every Wednesday night offering a tasty, nutritious meal free of charge to everyone. Totally staffed by volunteers, the meal typically consists of rolls, fresh fruit, fresh salad, vegetables, potatoes or pasta, entrée, dessert and beverages. Serving approximately 80 dinners each week, our goal is to ensure that our neighbors in need receive sustenance and a sense of belonging.

Since being reestablished in April of 2012, over 16,000 meals have been served to our neighbors in need. Between 5pm and 6 pm, families with children, singles, groups of friends and seniors all sit down to enjoy a meal in the light, airy hall of the Mt. Calvary Church at 472 Mass Avenue in Acton. Each week tables are set with fresh flowers to provide a welcoming atmosphere. On special holidays and occasions, the dining room is decorated so that all guests are included in the celebration.

As a non-profit organization, Mt Calvary Community Supper is grateful for sponsorship from charities, religious groups, scouts, students and local businesses. As our number of guests grows, Mt. Calvary Community Supper is also seeking your support. We would sincerely appreciate you, individually or with a group of friends, donating a unique gift of love and joining Mt. Calvary Community Supper in the fight to alleviate hunger and social isolation to those in need locally. $25 will provide ten guests a hot dinner. An entire night’s supper for all who come can be provided for $250.
