Community Hero Bill Duncan: Fueling Hope with Boston’s Friday Night Suppers

The Friday Night Supper Program in Boston, operational since 1984, serves nutritious meals every Friday when no other kitchens are open. Each week, over 100 guests receive not only food but essential items like clothing and toiletries, courtesy of dedicated volunteers like Bill. A volunteer since 2003, Bill's commitment extends past meal preparation to include setup and cleanup, epitomizing the backbone of this initiative. The program is lauded for fostering strong community connections, which are particularly evident during special holiday meals. Bill's dedication was nationally recognized when he received the Daily Points of Light Award, underscoring the impact of steadfast volunteerism on community strength.
