one meal a day
The Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB) distributes
enough food to serve over half a million people who do
not know where their next meal will come from.
With critical food, financial, in-kind and volunteer
support from the community, GBFB will continue to
respond to this growing need. We are committed to
increasing our distribution to reach our strategic
objective to provide at least ONE MEAL A DAY for
every person in need in eastern Massachusetts.
On April 29, 2015, together we intend to
raise $1.5 million to provide more than 4.5
million meals toward our ONE MEAL A DAY
objective.
Join us and our most dedicated supporters for this
special evening. Our 117,000 square foot Yawkey
Distribution Center will be transformed into a beautiful
space for a unique evening and dining experience.
