At The Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB), we have a vision to lead our community in pursuing bold, yet thoughtful anti-hunger policy solutions and empower our Eastern Massachusetts community to become advocates.
GBFB is focused on advancing policy that accelerates current food access programs that help alleviate the current hunger crisis while also supporting sustainable, root-cause policies that intersect with hunger-relief and advance equity.
Working in partnership with our government officials, network partners, statewide coalitions, and the general public is key to achieving our mission to End Hunger Here.

Latest Updates
In late June, the Healey-Driscoll Administration and the State legislature enacted the 2027 state budget which included critical anti-hunger programs, including historic funding for MEFAP.
As a result, food banks will be able to purchase more local, healthy food and our neighbors and students experiencing food insecurity will get the support they need and deserve. In addition to MEFAP and universal school meals, the budget also includes critical investments in the Nutrition Services Program for elders, the Healthy Incentives Program, and the Hunger Free Campus Initiative.
