The Greater Boston Food Bank honored a select group of supporters that are performing extraordinary work in hunger relief throughout eastern Massachusetts on Oct. 14 at the annual Partner Appreciation Luncheon at the Westin Copley Hotel.
Meredith Winter, LSOE '15, was among the recipients of this honor. Winter received the Nally Award, which recognizes young people doing work in hunger relief.
Other recipients included Citizen's Bank, The Open Door Food Pantry in Gloucester, Senator Jack Hart, Representative Peter Kocot, and the Stop and Shop Supermarket Company.
"We are committed to providing enough food so that every person in need in eastern Massachusetts has at least one meal a day," said CatherineD'Amato, GBFB's president and CEO, in a statement. "Fulfilling a challenging goal like that requires the help of many dedicated people and organizations. The partners we honored today show a deep generosity of spirit and true compassion for people who are hurting. They help us take some of the hurt away. They help our efforts to end hunger here."
The GBFB is the largest hunger relief organization in New England and among the largest food bank in the country. It distributes more than 36.7 million pounds of food to 550 member agencies and 30 direct service programs and provides meals for 545,000 people a year.
