Sandwich in the Park
Sandwich in the Park is a ministry that has been happening at the Cambridge Cenotaph park for seven
years. In the summer of 2023, Freedom Centre was approached to take responsibility for this initiative
which provides sandwiches, coffee, deserts and clothing to those in need who are met where they are.
From teenagers to families, to homeless, the Freedom Centre, not only provides nourishment, but also a
point of connection, compassion and friendship. With the support of many incredible volunteers we are
doing our part to meet people where they are and offer them a sense of community.
You will see us there each Monday(except Holidays) from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Cambridge Neighbourhood Table
Cambridge Neighbourhood Table is a partnership between the Kinbridge Community Association and
the Freedom Centre.
The Goal of Cambridge Neighbourhood Table is to provide meals alternatively once a week in
Cambridge for those who are facing food insecurity. At this time we are working with Langs Community
Centre to provide meals for alternate Mondays and Tuesdays. Cambridge Neighbourhood Table is not
only a place for eating, but a place for connecting and sharing needed resources to our community
members. Freedom Centre began this partnership in November of 2023 and is excited to be part of
meeting the needs of our community, especially the needs of Ward 3.
