City and Community Engagement invites you to take part in our 50th Annual Community Food Drive!
Our office works to bridge connections between the university and surrounding Boston communities, and what makes this annual tradition so meaningful is that every contribution goes directly back to the communities where we live, learn, and work.
Each year, we partner with the Grant Manor Food Pantry, which distributes donated canned goods, boxed foods, and other pantry staples to residents in the surrounding communities. This year, we are continuing to collect monetary donations that we will use to purchase grocery gift cards from a local vendor to distribute amongst families in the surrounding housing developments. Additionally, we will be purchasing fresh food that will be given to a community fridge.
To honor 50 years of the Community Food Drive, we are setting a goal of delivering 50 full boxes of donated food directly to Grant Manor.
