Bedford Community Dinners

The Bedford Community Dinners are hosted by the Rotary Club of Bedford to bring people together through shared meals. Inspired by the pre-COVID community dinners once hosted by the Bedford Food Pantry, these events are about more than food—they’re about connection, kindness, and belonging. This month's dinner is co-hosted and sponsored by Middlesex Savings Bank. 

Middlesex Savings Bank will offer a Fraud Prevention presentation at 4:30pm before dinner, with helpful tips to keep our community informed and safe. . This session will equip you with the knowledge to protect yourself from scams and fraudulent activities. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn valuable tips and ask questions.

Seniors who are in need of transportation should contact bedford.rotary@gmail.com and we will do our best to accommodate you. 

Whether you’re looking for a night off from cooking, a chance to meet others, or simply a friendly space to be yourself, you’ll find a seat at our table.
