About our programs
The Common Good, a nonprofit charitable organization, serves hot lunches including soups every Monday from November through April. Volunteers deliver soup to people’s homes year round.
The Common Good also serves popovers 6 days a week ( closed Mondays) from mid-June through Columbus Day. Summer Popover sales are the primary source of funding for the organization’s winter programs.
The meals are free, but donations are encouraged.

What are popovers?
A popover is a light, hollow roll made from an egg batter similar to that of Yorkshire pudding, typically baked in muffin tins or dedicated popover pans, which have straight-walled sides rather than angled.
