The holidays are a time for celebration with family and friends, but many families are struggling to provide for their basic needs. Due to the high cost of living in our region, along with continued uncertainty around federal nutrition programs like SNAP, more of our neighbors are facing hunger this holiday season.
We’re committed to supporting everyone who turns to us for help, including providing food for holiday meals with turkey (or other protein), and all the fixings.
“Some of the families don’t even know how they’re going to feed their children on Thanksgiving. They gave us a box with turkey, all the trimmings, all those things that we needed.”
-Olabisi, Newton, MA
Stop & Shop, a steadfast GBFB partner and long-time supporter of our Hunger Free Holidays campaign, has stepped up once again to match all gifts—up to the first $350,000 received—to help. Thanks to their support, a $50 donation doubles in impact to provide 4 holiday meals to local families!
“I want to make sure all the children have plenty to eat including their favorites treats for Thanksgiving.”
— Julie V., Milford
