Due to changes in funding allocation, the following will be in effect beginning April 1, 2026:

• On Mondays and Wednesdays, COA will cook meals on-site at the Cambridge Senior Center 
  
  
• On Tuesdays and Thursdays, SCES’s vendor (City Fresh) will provide hot lunches at the Cambridge Senior Center

Reservations are required for lunch meals. To reserve a meal, Cambridge residents can call 617-349-6047 or stop by the Cambridge Senior Center’s Front Desk one week in advance of your reservation date.

There are a limited number of meals available each day and Cambridge residents are given priority. Meals are available to Cambridge residents for a suggested donation of $3 per meal.

Advance reservations are not available for non-Cambridge residents. If you are not a Cambridge resident, you can arrive at the Cambridge Senior Center Monday through Thursday after 12:15 p.m. to determine lunch availability. Menu options are not guaranteed and non-residents must pay $5 per meal.
