Dear Naomi,

Thank you for your donation of a $25 gift certificate for The Greater Boston Food Bank’s Second Helping Gala. This donation helped us to raise over $1 15,000, which will enable us to continue to rescue an estimated 4,000 pounds each and every week of perishable and prepared food that would otherwise go to waste.

Begun in 1989 as a joint venture w@ the Boston College Alumni Association, Second Helping is the critical link between food establishments willing to donate their surplus and a wide range of emergency and non-emergency feeding programs. Donors to this vital rescue program include caterers, hotels, corporate cafeterias, universities and restaurants. Last year Second Helping collected more than 216,000 pounds of nutritious food, providing the equivalent of nearly 166,000 meals to those in need.

In addition to daily pick-ups and deliveries by Food Bank staff using our own trucks, we now facilitate the direct transfer of even more surplus by serving as the intermediary, matching available donations with the needs of our Second Helping recipients by food type and amount.

To learn more about hunger in Massachusetts and how we are serving people in your area, we invite you to visit our website, www.abfb.org. The site is also secure for making additional charitable gifts to Second Helping, Kids Cafe, Brown Bag, or wherever the need is greatest.

Thank you again for your thoughtful gift!

Sincerely,

Carla Kindt
Director of Development and Capital Campaign
