Support our Core Programs At The Greater Boston Food Bank, we are fortunate to have many corporate partners who choose to support our mission to end hunger through generous grants. Unrestricted grants are among the most valued form of support as they can be applied wherever the need is the greatest. Restricted grants, earmarked for a specific purpose, are also appreciated and can be directed to one of the many areas described below: Brown Bag—a program that delivers supplemental bags of specially selected, healthy groceries monthly to seniors and their families. Kids Cafe—a program that provides hot, nutrient-rich meals and engaging nutrition classes to more than 1,000 children five nights a week at Boys and Girls Clubs throughout our region. Nutrition—an area that The Greater Boston Food Bank has been a leader in for more than ten years—growing donations of nutritious foods for our agencies, developing nutrition curricula for students in our Kids Cafe program, and training member agencies, volunteers, and The Food Bank staff in safe food handling and preparation. Perishables—a program that distributes dairy, produce, and other fresh food items to Boston Housing Authority developments to augment the food purchases of their residents. Second Helping—an initiative that collects donated food from caterers, hotels, cafeterias, and other food service establishments and distributes it to hunger-relief agencies in our community. This program provides enough food for more than 324,000 meals every year. Volunteering—one of the largest volunteer programs in the region, with more than 10,000 volunteers annually who spend nearly 48,000 hours helping us inspect, sort, and package food. For more information on how you can support The Food Bank and strengthen our core programs, please contact Sheri Baron at 617-427-5200 ext. 5049 or sbaron@gbfb.org.
