My Brother’s Table is a soup kitchen with a mission to nourish our neighbors with free meals, hospitality, and unconditional love. Because we are a hospitality based charity, we welcome all without screening or deeming processes. We believe that all people need and deserve a place where they can receive warm welcome, no matter what their circumstances. We know that all people require nourishment through food and drink, and My Brother's Table we believe that all people also need the nourishment of kind human interaction. 

Below are highlights of our meal program, its impact, and our guests (as of May 2022):

• We've served 5+ million meals since 1982.
• We’ve served 2+ million meals from March 2020-April 2022.
• Our meal production has increased 400% compared to pre-pandemic levels. And there is no indication that the demand will subside.
• We are open 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and have been open 13,000+ consecutive days since 1984 regardless of blizzards, hurricanes, and even a pandemic.
• We serve lunch and dinner on M-F from 12pm-6pm and dinner on Sat/Sun from 2pm-4:30pm. All meals continue to be served to-go style due to COVID precautions.
• We also provide meals off-site to our community partners including seniors living in subsidized housing, home-bound individuals too young for Meals-on-Wheels, low-income families with disabled children, immigrants and refugees, patients in local recuperative care centers, families participating in a teen parent program, and to those in the Lynn lock-up. We also provide a free weekly medical clinic.
• We rely on a corps of 2,500 volunteers annually to help provide meals and other services to those in need in our community.
• To ensure the privacy of our guests and to serve the greatest number of people in need, we are entirely funded by private donors and businesses. We do not solicit or accept government grants and are not a United Way affiliate.
