Issue: Spring 2022
I’ve been in amazement over these last two and a half years as, together, we have faced and met every challenge this pandemic has thrown at us.
In this issue, you’ll read how the YMCA boldly sprang into action to partner with us to help meet the skyrocketing need for food in the midst of the pandemic. You’ll meet one of our incredible team members who continues to move heaven and earth to meet the increasing demand for food. And last, but certainly not least, you’ll read the story of an incredible young man whose first response to the increasing threat of hunger was not for himself, but for the families in need living in his neighborhood. Today, he is distributing 200 bags of food to his neighbors every week.
Thank you for your faithful generosity. If not for you, none of this would be possible. I am so appreciative of your ongoing commitment to help end hunger here.
Jean Louis distributes 200 bags of healthy food from his Mattapan home every week, helping to feed more than 20 families in his neighborhood.
YMCA of Greater Boston teamed up with GBFB to address unprecedented food insecurity, distributing directly from the lobby of their flagship location.
More people will become food insecure as higher prices put food out of reach for those already struggling with hunger and those living on very tight budgets.
Through your estate or retirement plan, you can make a more significant gift to GBFB’s mission than may be possible during your lifetime.
Proceeds from every pre-order of the “Stop Hunger Now” license plate will help provide nutritious food for our neighbors facing hunger.
As chair of GBFB’s Food Industry Committee, Cheryl Schondek is at the heart of a network of problem-solvers who are dedicated to ending hunger.
