Too many of us are forced to navigate countless roadblocks just to put food on the table. 

Searching through conflicting information about which food distribution sites are open; navigating confusing applications for food; traveling long distances on public transportation; waiting in line for hours outside of a food bank only to find that they’ve run out of produce — this is the unfortunate reality facing so many families across the country. 

There’s a better way.                      

With your support, Health Leads can continue working to transform our broken health and social services systems so that everyone can access the resources they need to thrive. 

Your gift will go directly to efforts like our initiative in Boston, where we’re partnering directly with community members in Hyde Park, Dorchester, Mattapan, Roxbury, and Roslindale to design and run innovative, hyper-local food distribution hubs so we can ensure our neighbors aren’t going hungry. 

As many of us head to the grocery stores to prepare for our Thanksgiving meals, I ask that you keep in mind those of us who will experience an entirely different reality just to feed our families tomorrow and in the weeks and months to come. With your help, we can dismantle systemic barriers and make healthy, affordable food accessible to everyone. I hope you’ll join us.
