Meals That Matter is incredibly honored and grateful to be selected as a recipient of a 2026 Tufts Community Grant award.

As our program continues to grow, so does the need for sustainable ways to safely prepare, store, and deliver meals to neighbors experiencing difficult seasons. This funding will help us purchase a new refrigeration system and equipment to support our growing meal delivery program.

Support like this strengthens our ability to continue bridging the gap by providing comfort and care with nutritious meals and friendly check-ins.

A heartfelt thank you to Tufts University Community Relations, the Tufts community, and the Cummings Foundation for investing in local nonprofits and the communities they serve. We are grateful for everyone who believes in our mission and helps make this work possible.

Thank you for helping us continue supporting our neighbors, one meal at a time. ❤️

Forty nonprofits in Boston, Grafton, Medford, and Somerville have been awarded an unprecedented $200,000 in grants from the Tufts Community Grants program
