A new year brings new opportunities! Take some time to give back to the community with City Awake at the Greater Boston Food Bank!
The Greater Boston Food Bank plays a large part in fighting hunger in Massachusetts. Daily, GBFB acquires large amounts of food from donations and food industry partners. From there, they sort and store many pounds of food in their 117,000 square foot facility with the help of various volunteers and workers. This food will eventually make its way to the many communities of families who rely on this fresh produce to fuel them in their everyday lives.
Neighborhood Safety Precautions:
GBFB takes the safety of our staff and volunteers very seriously. Due to the escalation in crime and social unrest in the neighborhood where The Greater Boston Food Bank facility is located, we want to be sure you are fully aware of your environment as you consider participating as a volunteer at our facility.
GBFB is taking necessary steps to enhance security given conditions in our neighborhood. GBFB has increased additional on-site security guards and has installed a safety gate in the parking lot.
Guidance on visiting building:
o GBFB is located near the Mass and Cass area (intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Melnea Cass Boulevard). Please be aware of your surroundings when visiting our facility. Avoid Atkinson Street and Topeka Street if possible. At this time, Moore Street is a preferred access route to reach South Bay Avenue.
o Please do not linger outside the building or engage with individuals on the streets surrounding our facility.
o If in need of help while on GBFB property, please dial 7 from any GBFB landline phone or call 781-571-2979 from any other phone to reach a security guard on duty. Or call 911.
