Save the date for our annual Women Fighting Hunger Breakfast—a powerful gathering of compassionate, driven leaders committed to ending hunger for women, children, and families across Eastern Massachusetts.

In 2024, we celebrated 15 years of Women Fighting Hunger and, thanks to our incredible event committee and supporters, raised enough to help provide over 2 million meals to neighbors in need.

This year, we’ll come together once again with the same passion and purpose to continue building a hunger-free future. We hope to see you there!

A dedicated philanthropist, consultant, real estate leader, and Co-Founder of The ‘Quin House, Sandy Edgerley has been a longtime champion for community building and impact. Through her personal generosity and the support of The ‘Quin House Impact Fund, she has helped fuel GBFB’s mission—contributing nearly 400 volunteer hours and vital funding to help provide nutritious food to families across Eastern Massachusetts. We are thrilled to honor Sandy’s leadership and commitment to ending hunger in our region.
