DONATE MENU MetroWest Fund for Hunger Relief A Regional Approach The MetroWest Hunger Relief Fund is one of the best avenues for putting an end to food insecurity in your community. Supporting your local food pantry and community supper is important; however, a solely local approach is simply not enough to end a growing regional problem. Through our work with more than 60 service providers focused on combating food insecurity here in MetroWest, the Foundation has discovered that there is not one obstacle contributing to the problem of hunger here at home. The issue of hunger is real, even here at home in MetroWest. More than 10% of our neighbors struggle to access healthy and consistent meals due to the rising cost of living, competing household needs like transportation or medical bills, and expensive food that is sometimes difficult to access on a regular basis. Children are hungry on summer days with no access to free or reduced meals in school. Our elder population can’t quite stretch their fixed incomes far enough. People who have lost their jobs or who have a medical emergency need a hand so that they can focus on rebuilding their lives. In the words of A Place to Turn’s Executive Director, “There is such a misconception about people who need food assistance. Our clients don’t sleep on park benches or spend their money on cigarettes instead of food. Many are working two jobs with no benefits or they are single parents.” By supporting our MetroWest Hunger Relief Fund, you can help us support a growing portfolio of nonprofits working across the food system with needed resources to make sure no one in MetroWest goes hungry.
