Join us for our next Free Community Dinner
Wednesday, 28 January 2026, 5:30–7:00 pm.
In the spirit of connection, community, and hospitality, the Presbyterian Church in Burlington invites our neighbors who live or work in Burlington and nearby towns to join us on the last Wednesday of every month for our free, monthly community dinners.
Come! — Join us to share food and conversation, and build connections with others in the Burlington community. Meals are free and open to the public; no donation or registration is required. These are not religious or fund-raising events; those of any religious faith, or none, are welcome. Meals are homemade, with vegetarian and gluten-free options. Dinner is served from 5:30–7:00 pm. Please help us spread the word and invite others to join you!
We often invite representatives of Burlington community organizations (e.g., People Helping People, Minuteman Senior Services, the Public Library, Youth & Family Services, etc.) to make a brief presentation during the dinners about their services.
We need volunteers to help prepare food , greet, serve, set up, and clean up. You can volunteer using the button below; button will be activated after the middle of the month when the menu has been determined. We are grateful for the Burlington United Church of Christ (UCC) who help us set up and provide food for this event; members of Saint Malachy Church have also provided food. Anyone in the community is welcome to volunteer.
Learn more about our free community dinners in the short 2-minute videos below.

Community Dinners: 1-Year Anniversary
These meals are charitable “pot luck” events: neither the food nor the facilities have been inspected by the state or local public health department. For the protection of our guests, church volunteers have been trained and certified by the ServSafe Food Handler Program.
