Please see the important note below and consider your support for the Greater Boston Food Bank. We are proud of the 3 youth from our Forum Group who have been spearheading this good effort in conjunction with the High School.

Peace,
Rev. Will Burhans

Please join the Greater Boston Food Bank Club at Winchester High School in supporting The Greater Boston Food Bank’s efforts to ensure our most vulnerable neighbors will have enough to eat during this uncertain time.

With your support, The Greater Boston Food Bank will be able to continue to provide fresh, healthy food for children that have lost access to free/reduced-price meals, families facing lost wages, and at-risk seniors. Every dollar counts and we really appreciate your help in reaching our goal! It just takes a moment to donate and help make an impact on our neighbors in need during this crisis.

If you are interested in donating, here is the link: https://my.gbfb.org/fundraiser/2729225

Sincerely,
Olivia Demichaelis, Abby Stewart, and Grace Roller
