"Food for the body...nurture for the soul."

Bread of Life is a nonprofit, nondenominational, faith-based food security organization based in Malden, MA that provides over 1.5 million pounds of free food a year for economically struggling and disadvantaged families, individuals, youth and senior citizens in the North metro Boston area.

Bread of Life utilizes hundreds of volunteers and dozens of partner organizations to distribute food through our primary programs: food pantries; prepared and congregate meals; grocery delivery to senior citizens; nutrition backpack distribution to at-risk Everett public school youth; food delivery to homeless individuals and families in shelter; and Food Access project to overcome barriers to accessing nutritious food encountered by lower-income communities with respect to race, ethnicity, language, culture, religion, age, gender and other factors.

I just wanted to send a quick note to thank you and your amazing team for working in collaboration with Mayor Christenson and the City of Malden to deliver Thanksgivings meals to Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) consumers on Thursday.  Your organization must have planned for months to pull off such an amazing feat.  Malden, and the surrounding areas, are so fortunate to have Bread of Life as a community resource. - Lisa Gurgone, MS, CEO, Mystic Valley Elder Services, Inc.
