Tickets and Sponsorship Opportunities for the 2025 Breakfast Coming Soon!
Last year, we celebrated 15 years of this powerful movement, bringing together compassionate leaders dedicated to ending hunger. Thanks to our incredible event committee and supporters, the 2024 breakfast achieved record-breaking fundraising, helping GBFB provide over 2 million meals for neighbors in need across Eastern Massachusetts.

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.
