Community & Donation

Rooted in Boston · Proud to Give Back

Laughing Monk Cafe has served Boston-area communities for over 8 years, with locations in Mission Hill (Longwood Medical Area), Wellesley, and Allston.

Each restaurant is proud to support the neighborhood that raised it — from healthcare professionals, researchers, and students in Longwood, to families and schools in Wellesley, to the arts, musicians, and college community in Allston.

Supporting Those Who Serve Others

We are deeply grateful to be part of this community, and giving back is an important part of who we are.

Across all three locations, we are especially honored to support:

  • Hospitals, healthcare organizations, and medical and nursing students
  • Local schools, universities, and student groups
  • Nonprofit and charitable organizations
  • Neighborhood initiatives and community events
  • Local artists, musicians, and cultural programs

Our Approach to Donations

We give priority to organizations that:

  • Directly serve the neighborhoods around one of our three locations — Mission Hill / Longwood, Wellesley, or Allston
  • Focus on healthcare, education, arts, or community support
  • Are registered nonprofit organizations
  • Provide clear information about their mission and event

Types of Support We May Provide

  • Gift vouchers for fundraising events and silent auctions
  • Food donations for nonprofit programs
  • Catering support for community initiatives
  • Special partnership opportunities
