Join Us in the Ride for Food and Help Food Link Bridge the Gap

A new study revealed that "29 million American adults don’t have enough to eat—nearly a threefold increase from two years ago."  That is a remarkable number. We also know that 40% of the food produced in the US is wasted! How can these two startling situations co-exist in America? What can be done about it?

That is where Food Link comes in.  We work 7 days a week to tackle these two problems with one elegant solution:  food rescue and distribution. Food Link IS the bridge between distributors who have excess fresh, nutritious food that would go to waste and organizations feeding those who are food insecure.

Food Link is entirely funded by donations from compassionate community members like you. Right now, we have a very simple way for you to raise funds to support our efforts--you can join the Food Link team at the 9th Annual Ride for Food: Off the Beaten Path?

This year, the Ride For Food is virtual and flexible -- it only costs $25 to register, there is NO fundraising minimum, and you can ride your bike, you can walk or run, you can play musical chairs…anytime and anywhere!  

With the click of the button – YOU can be one of the people who helps us reach our fundraising goal of $35,000!

Food Link is a community organization that rescues fresh food, alleviates hunger, and contributes to environmental sustainability. We are based in Arlington, MA, and serve communities throughout eastern Massachusetts. We partner with grocery and prepared food stores, which donate high-quality fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy, bread, and prepared food and social service agencies, which distribute the food people in need. Food Link operates 363 days a year and is powered by over 250 volunteers.
