Program areas at The Food Drive
Through our primary activity of Food rescue, The Food Drive recovers Food that would have been wasted at commercial sources and delivers it at no cost to pantries, low-income housing, and other recipients - literally driving Food from The point of potential waste to The point of need. In addition to our own city of melrose, we serve everett, lynn, malden, medford, reading, revere, saugus, stoneham, wakefield, and woburn. Our focus is providing The fresh, nutritious Food that is vital for good health and can be prohibitively expensive and in short supply at Food pantries.
