Greater Boston Food Bank

52
GBFB is the largest hunger-relief organization in New England and among the largest food banks in the country. Last year, we distributed million pounds of nutritious food to people who struggle to have enough to eat. Every month, 140,000 people eat something that came from GBFB.

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 25,000 volunteers annually who help to sort and distribute donated food products.

GBFB works to acquire, store, organize and distribute food through local food pantries, community meal programs, homeless and residential shelters, youth programs, senior centers, and day-care centers embedded in communities throughout the nine counties of eastern Massachusetts. 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.
