Bread & Roses

Bread & Roses is a community kitchen serving Lawrence, Massachusetts and the greater Merrimack Valley. Founded in 1980, our mission is the nourishing of body and soul to thousands most at-risk with dignity and respect. We strive to meet essential life, health and safety needs of those we serve through evening meals, case management, community food outreach, pantry services and walk-in health services. All in need have access to our services free of charge - regardless their residential, legal or income status. We serve those living on benefits, the working poor, and the homeless. Those of all different backgrounds and experiences have joined us as dinner guests, volunteers, and donors. Completely supported by private donations, we are guided by a spirit of hospitality and respect for the dignity of each person who comes through our doors.
