Our Purpose

Family Table is a food pantry that serves 108 towns accross Eastern Massachusetts. Beyond providing food for those in need, we are invested in supporting other food providers so that collectively we can improve access to healthy food for our communities.  Family Table is the lead organizer of the Greater Boston Hunger Network (GBHN) a coalition of food assistance organizations (food pantries, food rescue organizations, and community farms). The GBHN meets bi-monthly for organized conversations around common challenges we face. Meetings often involve learning from expert speakers. Our goal is to share learning and best practices to meet the challenges of providing food to more people, more efficiently and equitably.
