Quite simply, access to nutritious food is one of our Foundation’s principles, guiding purposes. And the pervasive challenge of hunger can be a preventable, solvable issue when innovative leaders and their dedicated teams – like Ashley Stanley, Spoonfuls’ Founder & Executive Director, and the Lovin’ Spoonfuls staff – bring together strategic expertise and resources to connect fresh food with those who need it. When you consider Yawkey Foundation’s major, and often decades’ long, partnerships with Greater Boston’s anchor human services and hunger institutions – from the Greater Boston Food Bank, to Catholic Charities’ food pantries in Dorchester, Lynn, and Brockton, to Community Servings, Pine Street Inn, and Rosie’s Place, to name just a few of our trusted partners – we hope it’s clear how strongly our Trustees feel about ensuring everyone has access to fresh, healthy food.
