COVID-19 Update

As the impact of COVID-19 continues to be felt, we are collecting and distributing DOUBLE the amount of food that we did this time last year. We are also partnering with 25+ new organizations in need across eastern Massachusetts, including Cobbet Hill Apartments in Lynn. Since the outbreak began, Food Link has made weekly deliveries of fresh, nutritious food to this community where resident volunteers bag the food and distribute it to their neighbors.  



WE MOVED, again...

Our operations staff and volunteers recently moved just down Mass Ave. in Arlington. We are now located at 630 Massachusetts Ave. within First Parish Unitarian Universalist of Arlington, MA. Food Link can be accessed by using the horseshoe driveway on the Pleasant Street side of the building.

We are EXTREMELY grateful to First Parish for their kindness, and to our friends at Intelligent Labor & Moving and Brent Lo who executed the move for us. Thank you.

Food Link Hub Update

We are elated that the Food Link Hub is under renovation and will open later in 2020. Once we are working from our new home, we will have an even greater impact on the community. 

The Hub is becoming a reality because of your generosity. During the June Home Cook In! event, donors gave an extraordinary $545,000 to build the Hub. Food Link has raised $2.1 million of the $3.25 million Capital Campaign goal.

THANK YOU!
