Project Bread's 55th Walk for Hunger

This Sunday, May 7th!

We hope to see many of our Brookline Thrives community at this event on Boston Common!

The Friends of Brookline Public Health invite you to join in supporting Brookline Thrives and The Brookline Food Pantry by walking in the 2023 Walk For Hunger. This year's walk consists of a 5K walk around Boston Common; and proceeds from the team will go to the Food Pantry, specifically to Brookline Thrives. If you'd like to join or donate to the team please click here. If you have questions, please contact Emily at emily@brooklinefoodpantry.org.

Paper Handle Bags Drive

Every week, we use approximately 250 handled grocery bags to help with final delivery of nearly 500 Thrives bags to students across Brookline. If you have bags from local markets that you can donate we'll put them to good use! Please drop off bags donations whenever you come to volunteer, or get in touch via email and we can arrange to meet up and collect them. Thank you!
