The Greater Boston Food Bank’s COVID-19 Response Fund

One in 8 residents of Eastern Massachusetts is expected to experience food insecurity in 2020 as a result of the impact of COVID-19. As the demand for food during the COVID-19 crisis continues to rise, the Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB) remains committed to its mission to maintain safe practices that will ensure healthy food continues to be distributed to neighbors in need in the Greater Boston area. The NLM Family Foundation has made a gift to the Greater Boston Food Bank’s Covid-19 Response Fund. Given the Foundation’s focus on helping individuals with autism, our hope is that a portion of this grant will be directed to initiatives that will ensure that individuals with autism and their families have access to care, nutrition and resources that will help them navigate this crisis.
