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.
Address : 615 King St. E. Cambridge N3H 3N6
Cambridge Neighbourhood Table
The goal of Cambridge Neighbourhood Table is to provide meals each night to people in need in the Cambridge area. This is meant not only to help with food insecurity but meet the challenges people of facing of loneliness and a sense of belonging. The Freedom Centre offers meals the first and third Tuesday of the month from 5 - 6:30. All are welcome. Visit our facebook site (could we put link) to find out what is being served. 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. A special thankyou to the Cambridge Food Bank, Salvation Army, Fortinos, No Frills for their support!
