At The Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB), we have a vision to lead our community in pursuing bold, yet thoughtful anti-hunger policy solutions and empower our Eastern Massachusetts community to become advocates.
GBFB is focused on advancing policy that accelerates current food access programs that help alleviate the current hunger crisis while also supporting sustainable, root-cause policies that intersect with hunger-relief and advance equity.
Working in partnership with our government officials, network partners, statewide coalitions, and the general public is key to achieving our mission to End Hunger Here.

Hunger Relief Advocacy Priorities
Latest Updates
The Food Bank Coalition of Massachusetts is advocating for $55.5M in MEFAP funding in the FY26 state budget. Collectively, the food banks have experienced a significant rise in neighbors needing food assistance from our community food partners, as cost of living and income inequality continue to make it hard for people to afford food. The Massachusetts food banks are grateful for the Commonwealth’s commitment to this powerful program.
Call or email your State Representative and State Senator to ask that they include $55.5M for MEFAP in their FY26 state budget priorities! Use this email template and call script or talking points for guidance.
