Hunger affects nearly every community in Massachusetts, yet it often goes unseen. According to a statewide report by Greater Boston Food Bank and Mass General Brigham, nearly 40 percent, or 1.1 million people in the Commonwealth experienced food insecurity last year.
As part of its statewide No Hungry Neighbors initiative, GBH is hosting an event to bring together community leaders, advocates, food system experts, and neighbors to talk about the challenges driving hunger and some of the solutions that are making a difference locally.
GBH News reporters will sit down with a number of people working on this issue from the local farms to the schools, kitchens and halls of the Statehouse. Then we will hear from the newly appointed Executive Director of the Greater Boston Food Bank, Carl Howell.
Join us at GBH to connect with neighbors, celebrate the harvest with a slice of Haley House pie, and learn more about organizations working to ensure everyone has access to healthy, affordable food.
