Mobile Pantry Distribution with Greater Boston Food Bank at the Trotter School
The Greater Boston Food Bank is the largest hunger-relief organization in New England and among the largest food banks in the country. We annually distribute more than 36 million pounds of food, enough to provide healthy meals to as many as 545,000 people at risk of hunger.
GBFB acquires food through food industry product donations, food drives and financial contributions that enable us to purchase additional high nutrient quality food.

GBFB distributes food through a network of 550 hunger relief agencies including food pantries, community meal programs, homeless and residential shelters, youth programs, senior centers, and day-care centers. GBFB also distributes food directly to those in need through dedicated programs that serve veterans, seniors and children.
Our new direct distribution initiatives provide an excellent opportunity for groups of volunteers to fight hunger in high-need communities. Volunteers may be asked to: help set up a diverse selection of fresh produce, staple items, and high-quality frozen meats in the style of a farmer's market. Volunteers then assist individuals and families as they choose from among these nutritious food items in a school or a community setting.
The location for this Opportunity is the Trotter School in Dorchester.
KF, 14+. All volunteers under 18 years old must bring a Permission Form signed by a parent or guardian to give to the Project Leader. Additionally, all volunteers under 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult over 18.
