we're reflecting on our volunteers' incredible spirit
of generosity and dedication to providing nutritious, home-delivered meals to our critically ill neighbors.
This past year alone, you've helped us expand our
services to Fitchburg and Leominster, turn 55,000 pounds of
donated produce into made-from-scratch meals,
a
nd raise more than a million dollars through special events.
Together, you send the message to those in greatest need that they no longer have to face hunger and sickness alone.

At a recent Congressional Briefing, Community Servings and other members of the national Food is Medicine Coalition presented to members of Congress on the power of medically tailored meals and nutrition services to improve the experience of care and the health outcomes of people with critical and chronic illness and drastically reduce overall healthcare costs.
"I've had the pleasure of seeing firsthand the incredible work being done by Community Servings," said Congressman Jim McGovern. "We've known for a long time that nutritious food really is medicine and I look forward to working with my colleagues in Congress to support the vital work of the Food is Medicine Coalition."
