Our Amazing Volunteers!


More than 130 people came to help prepare meals, pack them up, drive them to our sites, and take away our recycling.


That's a generous contribution of a least 770 hours preparing and packing meals and at least 7,500 miles driving ... in summer traffic!


And 91 have helped us out before and 41 (!) were new to us this summer.


(Our featured "Thank You" comes to us from the kids of the Wellfleet Recreation program.)

As effective as the federal nutrition programs are, they cannot end hunger alone.


Hunger and poverty are driven by economic and social hardships - including insufficient wages, lack of affordable housing, inadequate health care, and more - and by systemic discrimination.



These factors ... are complex and interdependent. They must be addressed if our nation is to end hunger.

-Food Research Action Group (FRAC)




Everything has been

cleaned, packed and stored

until next summer.
