The mission of the Friday Night Supper Program (FNSP) is to provide a warm nutritious meal to anyone in need, while providing a safe and dignified environment every Friday night. The Friday Night Supper Program was co-founded in 1984 by Arlington Street Church and Dignity Boston. Our dedicated team of volunteers has served over 7,800 meals yearly to disadvantaged people every Friday evening for the past 30 years. Each guest is served a nutritious three course meal consisting of soup, dinner and dessert at their table by our courteous volunteer servers. Our Guest Clothing Closet provides clothing, shoes, toiletries and other essential items to our guests following meal service. The City of Boston's annual homeless census, reported in January 2008, estimated that there are 6,900 homeless individuals in Boston, a significant increase from a decade ago. On average, FNSP serves 150 guests each Friday night from various backgrounds including veterans, those coping with AIDS, mental illness or substance abuse, youth living on the streets, elderly, disabled, abused women, individuals who are jobless, minimally employed, or living below the poverty level.
