Our Mission : Programs

Ninety percent of food distributed by The Greater Boston Food Bank is redistributed through its member hunger-relief agencies. But GBFB also distributes food directly to those in need, efforts that are expanding to provide one meal a day to every hungry person in our community.

• Kids Cafe Program

  Provides nutritious, out-of-school meals to disadvantaged children in a partnership with local Boys & Girls Clubs.

• BackPack Program

  Provides a pack of food to children to make sure they have enough food to eat when school meals are not available.

• School-based Pantry

  Provides food at convenient and safe school locations for children and families.

• Mobile Market
