Harvard Interfaith Meal-Packaging Service Project

2026 Harvard Interfaith Meal-Packaging Service Project

We're back! It’s that time of the year where we join forces with the Harvard Chaplains, Harvard's Presidential Initiative on Interfaith Engagement, and End Hunger New England (part of The Outreach Program) to work side by side with religious and non-religious communities to pack thousands of meal boxes for the Interfaith Meal-Packaging Service Project! This community service event is open to all students, staff, faculty, and family members. For families with younger children, this is a great way to show your kids how to give back to the community.

This year, our goal will be to pack 50,000 nutritious meals total for local organizations who help Massachusetts households and beyond who struggle to provide food for their families. The fundraising goal is $20,000 (40 cents per meal) to make this event a success. We need your help hitting this goal! Thank you for your generosity -- and we look forward to seeing you there! Note: You don't have to donate to participate! Your time is valuable. And if you can't make it, your presence will be felt by donating and spreading the word.
