Groton Community Dinners

Fostering community by offering a healthy, delicious meal for all, free of charge, in a warm and welcoming atmosphere


Groton Community Dinners is a new initiative by a number of community groups in and around Groton, MA. Our goals are both to provide nourishment and to strengthen the bonds of community.

We cannot eliminate hunger,
but we can feed each other.
We cannot eliminate loneliness,
but we can hold each other.
We cannot eliminate pain,
but we can live a life
of compassion.
— Mark Nepo
