Year: 2024
Hunger is a big problem—thank you for working with us toward a solution. Thanks to your support, we made progress in 2024 and are looking ahead to an impactful 2025.
From historic investments in the Massachusetts Emergency Food Assistance Program (MEFAP) to the launch of the Make Hunger History coalition, The Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB) and our advocacy partners achieved critical wins in 2024.
In early 2024, GBFB surveyed our donors to gain insights from them on the general sentiment of GBFB, why they support us, and what information and/or content they want to see from us, with a goal of using the insights to help inform our business strategies and future activities.
Originally from Honolulu, Ana started as a volunteer at Acord Food Pantry, a GBFB partner agency, when she moved to Massachusetts and now attends its weekly food distributions to help make ends meet
Throughout the holiday season, United Way of Tri-County (UWTC) in Framingham, a GBFB partner agency, will distribute an astounding 5,000 turkeys to members of the MetroWest community.
Like many fourth graders, the members of Girl Scout Troop 64049 in Wellesley love cute animals. In years past, they donated their cookie sale funds toward wildlife related causes—until they learned that kids in their community are facing hunger.
With GBFB, every donated dollar does more. Through our partnerships and wholesale purchasing power, we use your donations to secure food at a lower cost than retail price.
This holiday season, many of us will give thanks for family, good food, and health—three values that Wakefield resident Serina Saeed holds close.
For two years, Chef Inna and her team have prepared over 250,000 freshly made meals for the guests at Women’s Lunch Place, many of whom are experiencing homelessness and food insecurity.
