Program areas at Greater Boston Food Bank
Gbfb acquires Food through Food industry product donations, Food drives, and financial contributions that enable us to purchase additional high-nutrient quality Food. We also benefit from the generosity of over 7,000 volunteers annually who help sort and distribute donated Food products. Gbfb works to acquire, store, organize and distribute Food through local Food pantries, community meal programs, shelters, youth programs, senior centers and other community centers in the 190 cities and towns of eastern Massachusetts that gbfb serves. Gbfb's Food assistance locator provides an easy way for people in need to find help nearby. Gbfb also distributes Food directly to those in need through dedicated programs that serve particularly vulnerable groups, such as seniors and children. Since 2009, gbfb has operated out of a state-of-the-art 117,000 square-foot Food distribution facility, the yawkey distribution center, located in the newmarket section of Boston. The Greater Boston Food Bank is a member of feeding america, the nation's largest hunger-relief organization.
