GBFB recently received a “Network Celebration” award from Feeding America for our collaborative advocacy work during the pandemic. We were recognized for our support and management of a $30 million food purchasing program which resulted in more statewide collaboration between food banks and agencies, school meal programs, and local community partners. “This honor goes to every person connected to The Greater Boston Food Bank – from the employees, volunteers, donors and partners. From their focus on engaging with new partners to supporting member food banks across the network in times of disaster or emergency, these network members demonstrate the impact we can have when we come together.” – Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, CEO of Feeding America Read the full press release here and congratulations to all “Network Celebration” award winners!
