Rescue Food, Nourish Our Community!

Food Link is a community organization that rescues fresh food, alleviates hunger, and contributes to environmental sustainability.

Huge shoutout to our Bagel Star, Tristan, for setting a new record today: 441 bagels repacked! This equates to 8 boxes that will be delivered to our partners. Food Link's previous record was 317 bagels, also held by Tristan. He's unstoppable!

Tristan volunteers with us through LABBB Collaborative, an education and training program for young adults with disabilities.

Did you know? Food Link is open on most holidays, and they’re some of our busiest days of the year.

Our volunteers and staff had a jam-packed Memorial Day. In just one day, we picked up from 12 food donors, distributed to 7 community organizations, and moved 6,000 lbs. of food!

Although food rescue is our primary mission, we often receive flower and plant donations. These plants are from Whole Foods in Medford and we delivered them to our partners at group homes and affordable housing facilities to brighten the residents' days.

From the farm, to Food Link, to our recipient agencies. These eggs were handled with care every step of the journey. Thanks for the donation, Bane Farm!

Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week to our 1,000+ volunteers!

Thank you for all of your actions, small and large. Whether you are loading up your car with boxes, sorting fresh produce at the hub, bagging bagels, or driving the Food Link vans, your impact is felt every single day. You aren’t just moving food, you are building community.

From all of us on staff, thank you for being the heartbeat of Food Link. You power our work and we truly couldn't do it without you.

When life gives you oranges, make orangeade! 🍊

Even though we’re trained to pack and load with care, sometimes things still go awry. These oranges tried to roll away from our truck, literally! Our volunteers quickly jumped into action to save the day (and the citrus).

The Food Link team recently volunteered at The Greater Boston Food Bank! We sorted lemons, packed food bags for distribution, and helped prepare supplies for future volunteer shifts. Thanks to the GBFB team for hosting us and showing us your space. 🧡
