Inspired by a local community elder and culinary genius, Rosetta Webb, City Fresh launched its first end-of-summer party for Boston seniors in 2006. What started as a large barbecue, a hat, bonnet and dance concert has over the years, in partnership with the City of Boston’s Elder Commission, blossomed into the city’s second-largest event for seniors.

Partnering in Program Development
In 2017 Boston Public Schools kicked off a pilot program, My Way Café, using a hub-and-spoke model where food was prepared at East Boston High and distributed to 3 schools where food was served by City Fresh. The My Way Cafe model now services 46 BPS schools, and adding another 14 by the end of this school year. City Fresh has been involved in launching this program, helping with logistics, transportation, and recipe testing. My Way Café has successfully demonstrated success regarding cost controls and increased participation rates while limiting any additional planning, equipment or space from individual sites. Read More
