BOSTON, MA – As part of Shawmut’s ongoing partnership with Community Servings, volunteers regularly spend time at the non-profit’s Jamaica Plain facility throughout the year. Most recently, a group from Shawmut’s summer internship program spent a day preparing over 375 meals for the critically ill in the Greater Boston community.

The medically tailored meals were distributed to clients in over 20 cities and towns in Massachusetts across 300 square miles. Each meal was made-from-scratch to meet nutritional and medical needs of clients who are fighting illnesses like HIV/AIDS, diabetes, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and many others.

Shawmut first partnered with Community Servings in 2007, when the non-profit opened their Shawmut-built state-of-the-art nutrition facility in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. Since its opening, the new facility has enabled Community Servings to significantly increase meal capacity to produce 2,500 meals per day, improve food quality, engage greater numbers of volunteers, expand nutrition services, and offer additional on-demand food-service.

In addition to our volunteer initiatives, Shawmut also participates in Community Servings’ annual Pie in The Sky fundraiser each November. Since 1990, Community Servings has served over 5.5 million free meals to the critically ill, helping to fight hunger and illness throughout the Greater Boston community.
