The Greater Boston Food Bank | Diversity Employer
Together, with our partners and supporters, we are creating a healthy and hunger free Eastern Massachusetts.
The Greater Boston Food Bank operates from our 117,000-square-foot Yawkey Distribution Center in South Boston. This is where 109 million pounds of healthy food passes through before being distributed across Eastern Massachusetts through more than 600 partner agencies and direct distribution sites such as:
- Food pantries
- Soup Kitchens and Meal Programs
- Senior Centers, and more
Our partner agencies place food orders through our online inventory system and pick up their orders at our warehouse. Some partner agencies are located too far from our warehouse for regular pick-ups or have transportation challenges. GBFB operates several cross-dock locations across Eastern Massachusetts to accommodate these challenges by bringing food to convenient, central locations to ensure these agencies get the critical food that their community members in need rely on.
