Food Drives
Food collected by community groups provides better choices for our clients.
Food drives can be a fun and worthwhile activity for any group, small or large.
We welcome food drive donations for our Kids Club program all year round. At year end, we appreciate food drives so that we can provide families with side dishes for their holiday meals.
The foods collected provide families with the quality brands that they prefer, and offset our expenses for food purchases.
The food you will collect in your drive does more than just fill the cupboards of those in need; it provides dignity.
Families prefer the brands of food that we take for granted when we shop at a supermarket. When these are included in Kids Club and holiday grocery bags, they replace the stigma associated with government food and replace it with a small example that they are not “lesser than” others, and that the community cares.
Kids Club Food Drive
Kids love mac n’ cheese, granola bars, and most of all, a wide variety of breakfast cereals that we can never get from the Greater Boston Food Bank.
Here’s a list of the five Kids Club food drive requested items.
