Business and civic leaders and community members came together last night to raise funds for The Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB) and its hunger relief efforts.  GBFB helps feed children and families, veterans, college students, the elderly and working adults in 190 eastern Massachusetts cities and towns.  The $1,000,000 raised will provide 2,360,000 meals to those in need.

According to Catherine D’Amato, GBFB President & CEO, the generosity of the Boston community will make a real difference to our friends, neighbors and colleagues who worry about feeding themselves and their families.  “Our supporters know that food insecurity in Massachusetts hurts people of every age and background.  Through their contributions, our sponsors and guests will help provide nutritious meals to those who might otherwise go hungry,” said D’Amato.

The Greater Boston Food Banquet received substantial support from presenting sponsors Amy and Joshua Boger, Concord residents and event co-chairs, as well as Citizens Bank, Roche Bros., Stop & Shop, and Joanna and Nigel Travis, and sustaining sponsors Bank of America, BNY Mellon, FedEx, Shaw's, State Street and Ted, Joel and Randi Cutler.
