“We were thrilled with the turnout and success we had last week with the program. By partnering with Boston BioProducts, it allowed us to use the platforms, services, and resources we had to help those in need by offering a free meal,” said owner John Tomasz

“Framingham Baking Company reached out to us once the word got out on the program. They have since donated all the rolls that have been provided with each free meal,’ said Tomasz.

“It is in time’s like these, that we must look out for one another. To check in a little more often, read in between the lines, even when they say they are OK. It is in times like these, that we won’t ever forgot, those small acts of kindness,” said Tomasz.

“Maybe the free meal is for you, someone in your family, an elderly neighbor or a friend, there are no questions asked and no judgment. But in times like these, it is the smallest gesture that can mean the most to that one person struggling,” said Tomasz.
