This April, in light of Earth Day and Volunteer Appreciation, all of us at Food Link want to reflect on the importance of working together toward sustainability. By preventing food from going to landfills, we are saving the environment from harmful greenhouse gasses. Rescuing food provides necessary nutrition to those in need. As we envision a world without waste, in which everyone has enough, we want to thank our volunteers who make our mission possible.

Read more about our volunteers on our blog here.

However you choose to join us, you’ll be part of the community fighting hunger in Massachusetts. Our team captain Karin will support your fundraising efforts, and has all sorts of adventure ideas up her sleeve if you take the “Off the Beaten Path” option.  

As a team member, you’ll receive a Food Link t-shirt to wear as you move your body for a great cause. You’ll also get the chance to take a (socially-distanced) tour of The Hub to see for yourself the amazing work Food Link can do thanks to your generosity. Depending on people’s comfort levels, we can meet up for an outdoor team gathering and possibly even an optional training ride. We hope you will join us for this great adventure!

In 2020 we raised over $40,000 to help Food Link meet the increased need for its services – won’t you help us keep the ball rolling? Here’s how you can help:
