Who are the sponsors of Boston Can Share?
The Boston Can Share Food Drive is truly a community partnership. The Food Drive is coordinated by the Mayor's Office. Financial support for boxes, brochures, and posters is provided by Project Bread-The Walk for Hunger. Fifty corporate sites, the 90 Post Office branches, and the Boston Centers for Youth & Families are recruited to serve as drop-off locations. In addition, 55 Boston City Departments and 100 Boston Public Schools participate by collecting food and raising funds. The food is collected during the three week period. Fed-Ex then picks up the donated goods from the corporate sites, the U.S. Post Office picks up from their locations, and the City of Boston picks up from their locations. All the food is then delivered to the Greater Boston Food Bank.
