Pictured here is Shannon, Food Link's Senior Communications and Outreach Coordinator, with a van packed full of food for the Food Access Volunteers of Roslindale (FAVOR).

"Fund-raising work is necessary, but takes time from their mission, [Albert] said. 'All of us could be doing more programming, if we could be spending less time on fund-raising.'" Our Executive Director, Rachel Albert, spoke with the Boston Globe about the impact the end of ARPA funds will have on nonprofits. Check out the full article to learn more.

Cambridge Savings Bank has been a steadfast supporter of Food Link for many years through its foundation.

94% of the people served through Food Link’s partnerships live in low or very-low income households. During the school year, free school meals provide some financial relief for families with children; this summer, these households must try to make up the difference themselves. With a gift of just $120, you can deliver five boxes of food to provide meals to children. Give by June 30, and your donation will be double-matched by two anonymous donors.

Through June 30th, two anonymous donors will match each dollar 2 to 1! Donate now: https://lnkd.in/epN9Y3-H

A dollar doesn’t go as far at the grocery store as it used to. While we all feel the impact of these costs, your friends and neighbors facing food insecurity are especially vulnerable.
