Food for Free

Food For Free responds to local hunger by rescuing fresh food that would otherwise go to waste and distributing it within the emergency food system where it can reach those in need. Our four main programs include 1) Food Rescue - serving 100+ food programs across 12 cities, 2) Home Delivery bringing food to 95 clients each month who are unable to access food pantries, 3) Field of Greens which is our own small farm program which harvests and then distributes 4,000-8,000 pounds of vegetables among the food programs we serve, and our 4) Transportation Partnership which picks up food from the Greater Boston Food Bank for 12 different food pantries. The Ride for Food offers us a way to raise significant funds at a very low cost ensuring every dollar raised goes that much further. It’s created an opportunity to expand our community and to partner with other food programs to raise awareness around community hunger and food justice. It has been an incredibly valuable resource to Food for Free.
