Hunger affects nearly every community in Massachusetts, yet it often goes unseen. According to a statewide report by The Greater Boston Food Bank and Mass General Brigham, 40 percent, or 1.1 million households in the Commonwealth experienced food insecurity last year.
As part of its statewide No Hungry Neighbors initiative, GBH is hosting an event to bring together community leaders, advocates, food system experts, and neighbors to talk about the challenges driving hunger and some of the solutions that are making a difference locally.
Enter the GBH Atrium at 6:00pm to connect with these organizations who will share more about how they are building a food secure Commonwealth:
- Allston Brighton Health Collaborative
- Allston Brighton Food Pantry
- The Greater Boston Food Bank
- Haley House
- Heal the Hood
- Project Bread
- ROOT
- The Salem Pantry
- UTEC
Then, at 7:00pm, GBH News reporters will sit down with a number of people working on this issue, from local farms to schools, from restaurant kitchens to the halls of the Statehouse.
Finally, we will hear from the newly appointed President and CEO of The Greater Boston Food Bank, Carl Howell.
Join us at GBH to connect with neighbors, celebrate the harvest with a slice of Haley House pie, and get to know some organizations working to ensure everyone has access to fresh, nutritious, affordable food.
