Ten Ways You Can Help Us

We hope you find something to do that’s easy and rewarding.

Volunteer
We always need people to pack bags, distribute groceries or unload food from the Greater Boston Food bank truck. Learn more here.


Offer Your Talent
We are powered by a volunteer board of directors and committee members who work on projects for our operation, marketing, fundraising and client outreach. If you have a talent to offer and/or might be willing to volunteer on a committee, we’d like to hear from you.


Get Your Employer Involved
Your employer may offer a matching donation to your own, or a grant we could apply for. Your supervisor or HR department may support you and other employees who want to run a food drive or another team-building activity. Feel free to suggest something that is meaningful to you and your company. Please email our Executive Director to let us know what you have in mind.

Run a Kids Club 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
Join Team Centre Street to ride or walk in the annual Three Squares New England Ride for Food held each October, or fundraise and run for Centre Street in the B.A.A. Boston Marathon. If you want to join our team, 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 intermittently or on a monthly basis, support a specific fundraising campaign or give specific items to Stock our Pantry. We appreciate your creativity to run a birthday fundraiser or neighborhood bake sale! Your financial contributions allow us to purchase more food, pay for food truck deliveries, and keep the refrigerators and operation running every week.
