Boston Public Library accepting herb donations for Spice Bank in partnership with GBFB
The Boston Public Library and The Greater Boston Food Bank teamed up in 2021 to launch the BPL Spice Bank Collective to bring more flavor to our neighbors. This successful program has been extended through 2024!
Improving access to cooking spices helps individuals and families maintain their cultural identity, uphold family food traditions, and discover new, delicious and nutritious recipes.
When you donate at the Newsfeed Café in the central library in Copley Square, they will match and double your spice donation! Spice donations will be accepted from November 2023 through May 2024.
