Served to Children in July
All who prepare the meals ... and pack the meals ... and deliver the meals ... We all knew Food 4 Kids has been doing more this July than ever before. And we were right!
Serving 74 MORE LUNCHES a day, on average, than last July
Serving 117 MORE SNACKS a day, on average, than last July
From our numbers,
it's clear that hunger
has permeated the middle class.
The concept of hunger
is no longer synonymous
with poverty.
-Catherine D'Amato, President and CEO of The Greater Boston Food Bank
Unsung Heroes:
Our Recyclers
Big cardboard delivery boxes and smaller cardboard sleeves that once held multi-packs of fruit or juice; gallon plastic jugs and large metal cans that held a sandwich filling or sauce or fruit ... Where does it all go?
Dedicated volunteers load up their trucks and cars with piles of recyclables almost daily and take them to their local recycling center.
