About Among Friends Meal Program

Among Friend’s Meal Program’s mission is to provide free nutritiously prepared meals in a safe and welcoming environment to all of the local community seeking food or fellowship. Among Friends began in 1983 and is the only program in the greater Newburyport area that provides three meals each week. We serve dinner on Mondays at 5:00 and lunch on Tuesdays and Fridays at 11:00. We provide 360 meals a week for dine-in, take-out and delivery and 18,000 meals a year, including a bagged Christmas dinner for families.

Our Purpose

At Among Friends Meal Program, we recognize that a warm meal and a friendly face can make a world of difference. Our program brings together volunteers and community members to prepare and deliver meals to individuals who may be homebound, elderly, or facing difficult circumstances.

Our Commitment

We are committed to fostering a compassionate and inclusive community, where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. By partnering with local businesses, houses of worship, and community organizations, we strive to make a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve.
