What ACTION Will You Take?

September is Hunger Action Month.

Hunger Action Month offers an opportunity for communities to come together to address food insecurity in the cities and towns in which we live, work, and play.

There are many ways that YOU can take ACTION
to help feed local people and spread awareness this month – here are six.

Kerem Shalom Donation

Contribute Food

We rely on donations to meet the needs of our clients that cannot be met through our partnership with the Greater Boston Food Bank, grocers, and farms. You can donate non-perishable food and personal care items 24/7 in our donation bins. Our Most Wanted items for September are Back to School snacks – individually wrapped items that can be packed in a school lunch, such as granola bars, crackers, and dried fruit.
