The Greater Boston Food Bank’s goal to end hunger in Eastern Massachusetts has not changed since founder Kip Tiernan started passing out food from the back of her station wagon in 1974.
But like any other organization, it has grown and evolved over the last 40 years. The Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB) has turned into one of the biggest food banks in the U.S., distributing 61 million pounds of nutritious food to people across 190 cities and towns last year alone. GBFB partners with 530 food pantries, meal programs and shelters to get healthy food to people in need.
