FNSP is very grateful to have had such a strong yet calm leader throughout her time as board chair. Thank you, Jennie! We wish you prosperity and happiness in whatever new adventures may come next.

The kitchen has been buzzing at FNSP this June! It has been great to welcome back some of our volunteer groups. The Boston Society of Civil Engineers brought a group inon Friday, May 20, to help out with the delicious meal that was sponsored and prepared by the Westin Copley Place Hotel. We also want to send a shout-out and big THANK YOU to all of our regular volunteers and board members who have been instrumental in keeping the kitchen up and running while we search for a new Kitchen Manager!

Fall has finally arrived along with shorter, cooler days and delicious cooking from the FNSP kitchen! We are excited to spotlight some of our volunteers in this month's newsletter. Volunteers are crucial to the operations of FNSP- without them we couldn't make, serve, and deliver hundreds of hot, nutritious meals each month for our neighbors in need. Volunteering at FNSP is also fun and a great way to connect with the community!

Jenny’s hopes for FNSP

FNSP may be a small organization, but it is mighty thanks to the brilliance and efforts of the Staff, Board Members, and Volunteers. As we look into the next year, I hope to see FNSP continue to grow offering new services to our guests and building partnerships in the local community to further support our mission "to provide a warm nutritious meal to anyone in need in a safe and dignified environment every Friday night".
