Join Food Rescue US – Boston for the 5th Annual “Friday After” Event

Food Rescue US – Boston, along with our distribution partners, is excited to support families and partners with our 5th Annual “Friday After” food recovery and distribution event, ensuring we can keep the momentum going once the holiday feast is over.

Last year, our dedicated volunteers helped us rescue 18,000 pounds of surplus food, reaching over 800 families in need in one day. 

This year the need is greater than ever, and wasting food while families struggle during the holidays is unacceptable.

Join us to:

  • Rescue Surplus Food: Help collect and deliver surplus holiday food from grocery stores.
  • Make an Impact: Share high-quality resources at a time of year that is stressful and expensive for many of our neighbors.
  • Be Part of Something Bigger: When we come together as a community, we are powerful. Your involvement helps build a stronger, more connected Boston.

Sign up today to lend a hand and help keep the momentum going once the holiday feast is over. Together, we can make a real difference!

Don’t drive? Sign up here to volunteer to give out food at the event!
