Mission Statement
Food For Free improves access to healthy food through establishing innovative programming and partnerships to overcome barriers and strengthen the community food system. We envision a future where everyone in our community – regardless of age, income, or ability – has consistent access to fresh, healthy, delicious food.
About This Cause
Food For Free responds to local hunger by getting food to those who need it. In 2020, we distributed 4.7 million pounds of food. Food Rescue and Distribution: improves access to healthy foods by rescuing fresh food—food that might otherwise be discarded—and distributing it within the emergency food system. This program reaches people who have low food security—who struggle to access sufficient healthy food—by partnering with emergency food programs, youth programs, and other programs that reach low-income households. This program serves more than 30,000 individuals in partnership with nearly 100 food programs in Arlington, Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Lynn, Medford, Somerville, Waltham, and Watertown. Weekend Backpack Programs and School Markets reach elementary and middle-school students and their families, helping kids arrive at school well-nourished and ready to learn. Home Delivery provides twice-monthly deliveries of food to low-income Cambridge residents who are unable to access food pantries due to disability or chronic illness. This program serves 400 clients each month. Other programs include Just Eats, Field of Greens, and the Transportation Partnership.
