community supper is active again in Acton and Boxborough. The newly-launched Mt. Calvary Community Supper, at 472 Mass. Ave in Acton, started up in April and offers meals free of charge from 5:00-6:00 on Wednesdays. The next suppers will be held June 20 and July 11. After July 11, they will be open every Wednesday.
Mt. Calvary Community Supper provides an opportunity for families and individuals of all ages to enjoy a healthy, nutritious meal served in a warm and friendly environment.
The new Mt. Calvary Community Supper Board comprises an equal number of members from Mt. Calvary Church and the previous Community Supper Board. Chairman Michael Tobia stated that the Board visited programs in surrounding towns "to determine, in fact, if the need existed, and we confirmed that the void existed in the Acton Boxborough community."
Fifty-five guests attended the first dinner in April. Since then the number has increased to an average of 65 with an additional 15-20 take home meals. As word gets out, it is expected that these numbers will grow.
