Bread & Roses is a soup kitchen in Lawrence, MA with a strong and rich tradition of being a center of hope and caring to the thousands of people in the Merrimack Valley who are struggling for survival. 

Founded in 1980, Bread & Roses' primary purpose is to ease the hunger of people in our community  by providing a well-balanced, nutritious evening meal.  

All in need are welcome to our center to partake of a community meal in a peaceful, friendly environment.  Guided by a spirit of hospitality and nonviolence, respect for the dignity of each person who comes through the door is a hallmark of our community.  

Since hunger relief is our main concern, there is no cost for the meal.

We anticipate the day when hunger and poverty are eliminated and our work of hospitality is no longer needed. Until that day, we remain committed to easing the suffering of people who are hungry and in need.

Thank you for joining us in this important work.
