BAG's Plan for Food Day 2015

10/21/2015

 
By Rebecca Fennel, Development Assistant

This Saturday, October 24 will be an especially exiting day for us. We're celebrating Food Day--a national day to take action to solve food-related issues. This year, Food Day's theme is "Toward a Greener Diet," which aligns perfectly with BAG's mission to ensure everyone's access to healthy, fresh, and local food.

This year, we're collaborating with the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources to expand our distributive reach. With the help of MDAR, Saturday's operations will include a different set of recipient agencies from those who normally receive gleaned produce. These organizations include WIC (Women, Infant, & Children) agencies, Mass in Motion offices, and educational programs across eastern MA:
  • Brockton WIC
  • Cape Cod WIC
  • Chelsea/Revere WIC
  • East Boston WIC
  • Fall River WIC
  • Lawrence WIC
  • Lowell WIC
  • Springfield WIC
  • Worcester WIC
  • Bowdoin Geneva Health Center
  • Brookside Health Center
  • Cambridge Health Alliance
  • Department of Public Health
  • Neponset Health Center
  • Everett Community Growers
  • Newton Community Farm

Because it's an incredibly good year for apples, we'll be distributing over 1,200 pounds of crunchy, tasty ones to the above organizations. We're so glad that MDAR is helping us provide awareness about gleaning to hundreds of new individuals and families on Food Day!
