Through hosting sites, we run cross dock locations across Eastern Massachusetts. GBFB’s trucks bring orders to cross docks, meeting member agencies halfway. 65 Distribution Program sites To ensure that vulnerable populations in underserved communities have access to nutritious food that’s critical to health and development, GBFB operates direct distribution programs. These programs bring food (at no cost) directly to children, seniors and veterans. Children, families, seniors and veterans received the healthy food they need to stay active and healthy – providing hope and beyond.
