Purge Your Pantry

People in need turn to food pantries and those pantries turn to the Greater Boston Food Bank for food. The CAN Share drive helps replenish those shelves during the high-demand holiday season. In response to rising hunger, our goal for this past year's CAN Share was to collect 100,000 pounds of food.

Focus on Fresh

Our goal in this year's CAN Share was to raise $100,000 for the City's Fresh Food Fund. Our fresh food fund supports the City's Boston Bounty Bucks program. Launched in 2007, Boston Bounty Bucks helps provide low income families with access to healthy fresh fruits and vegetables that they would otherwise struggle to afford.
