Do you smell what I smell? It’s freshly brewing coffee coming from 1369 Coffee Houses in Cambridge! Mark your calendar; on Jan 26th, 1369 will provide FREE coffee beverages all day; in lieu of payment, donations will be accepted to benefit On The Rise and Food For Free! Why the free coffee? 1369 celebrates 20 years of business and of being an excellent neighbor in Cambridge! See you in line for coffee! (Mass Ave. and Inman Sq. locations).

On The Rise is a day program for women who are homeless. We use a relational model designed to offer respect, dignity, connection, information, guidance

 

Bridging the gap between waste and want since 1981

Food For Free rescues fresh food—food that might otherwise go to waste—and distributes it within the local emergency food system where it can reach those in need.

Through a combination of food rescuefarming, andtransportation services, they give food programs year-round access to fresh fruits and vegetables, while our delivery program brings food directly to isolated seniors and people with disabilities.

Their programs address not only short-term hunger, but obesity, diet-related disease, and other long-term health effects of food insecurity and poor nutrition.

In addition, food rescue—also called salvage or gleaning—reduces food waste.
