September 2026

We're moved and ready to serve!

It’s been a busy and exciting month for One Mission as we made the move down the street to our new home at 503 Race Street in Cambridge!

We’re incredibly grateful to the volunteers who pitched in—working hard and in the August heat—to help make the move possible. Thanks to their efforts, we’re settled in and up and running!

Last night, we were pleased to welcome friends to our new home for our monthly Community Dinner, now held on the fourth Monday of each month at 4pm It was wonderful to gather around the table again and begin this next chapter of One Mission together.

As we serve our community from our new location, we need more helping hands! Below, you’ll find information about our Volunteer Drive and ways you can get involved. We also have some exciting things ahead, including our Oysters & Moonlight Gala and our growing eBay store.

Read on to see what’s happening at One Mission— you're invited to join us!

VOLUNTEER DRIVE

Volunteers make EVERYTHING possible here at One Mission Cambridge.

As a volunteer, you:

-Make a meaningful difference in your community

-Make new friends

The commitment is low - just 3 to 4 hours per MONTH.

Volunteers make EVERYTHING possible here at One Mission Cambridge. Because of you, more families are able to get the resources they need to get their lives back on track.

Wondering what you would do as a volunteer?

Food pantry volunteers help our clients "shop" the shelves, providing one-on-one assistance by guiding them through the process and helping them choose items they need. Other volunteers help with restocking shelves, and tidying the lounge area.

We encourage all community members to come build valuable connections with your neighbors and make a direct impact in your community!

If you have a business or organization interested in volunteering as a group, we have a variety of opportunities available! Please reach out to inquire.
