How the Greater Boston Food Bank is meeting a growing need

From farm to everyone’s table: To meet rising demand, especially for produce, the Boston nonprofit had to start thinking more like a business.

Quite impressive. My parents essentially run a rural community's food cupboard out of state and organizations like this help make it possible to assist people in very tough circumstances. Much appreciation for these people's work, and well done finding new ways to help more people with greater efficiency.

Very impressive operation.  If you'd like to learn how one incredible non-profit with 9000 volunteers in Central MA grew over 250,000 lbs. of fresh produce for the Worcester County Food Bank this year please check out Community Harvest Project  http://www.community-harvest.org

 

Thanks to all the dedicated hunger-relief volunteers!
