Join us at an event and then spread the word about it to others.
Our 2026 event calendar begins with our 15th Anniversary event on March 19, followed by Empty Bowls at Lasell University on April 10. On May 3rd we'd love you to join our team in the Walk for Hunger! In the Fall the Music for Food hosted by St. Mary's Episcopal Church is delightful!

Run a Kids Club or Holiday Food Drive
Organize a food drive to collect food that we cannot get from the Greater Boston Food Bank. This is a great team building activity for a scout, school, or faith group or neighborhood. You can set up a table outside a supermarket or run an event to collect food. Learn more here.

Walk, Ride or Race with Us
If you're a runner, you can apply to be our runner in the B.A.A. Boston Marathon in April or anyone can join the Newton Turkey Trot in November. You can bike ride or walk in the Three Squares New England Ride for Food held each October. Learn more here.

Decorate Kids Club Bags
We’ll provide the brown bags and then you decorate them with inspiring messages and art. Imagine the smile on a child’s face when the family receives a Kids Club bag with a rainbow and a wish for a great day! This is a wonderful group activity for all ages. If you’re interested email us.

Donate Brown Paper Grocery Bags
We use hundreds of brown grocery bags each week. Double them up and recycle them for this good cause. You can drop them off at our side door on Furber Lane any Tuesday morning between 10 and Noon. If that’s not convenient, email us to find another time.

Donate
You can give on a monthly basis, support a specific fundraising campaign or anytime you want. We appreciate creative birthday fundraisers or a neighborhood bake sale! Your contributions allow us to purchase food, pay for food truck deliveries, and help us serve thousands of people.

Volunteer
We rely on volunteers to pack bags, distribute groceries or unload food from the Greater Boston Food bank truck. We also host groups groups to help clean the pantry or other special projects. Learn more here.
