Serve Lunch at the Boston Living Center

About Victory Programs: Victory Programs has been helping individuals and families in crisis in the Boston area for over 40 years. Some 3,200 people turn to them each year for shelter, sustenance, recovery, care, and professional, compassionate support. When other organizations can’t or won’t take people in, they do.

Victory Programs’ Boston Living Center (BLC) is a community and resource center that fosters the wellness of all HIV positive people and responds to the changing needs of the HIV/AIDS community through education, treatment information, and support services. In an average year, their volunteers help serve over 30,000 meals at the BLC. All meals are designed by a nutritionist, and over 80% of BLC members report the BLC is the first or second source of food.

T-Accessible: The BLC is accessible by public transportation, located just a few blocks from both Back Bay (orange line) and Copley (green line).

What Boston Cares members have to say about Victory Programs' Boston Living Center: 

"Serving lunch at the Boston Living center is always a rewarding, meaningful and fun experience. This volunteer opportunity has just the right blend of direct service and behind-the-scenes support activities.  Volunteers are fully engaged in a variety of interesting and fast-paced tasks, many of which afford opportunities to learn about cooking, food service, etc. BLC staff and members are always helpful, gracious, and...most of all...deeply grateful."
