Food for Free Charity

This nonprofit is based right down the block from me, and I walk past the little house every day, watching the kind folks load and unload food off their trucks… so selfless and wonderful. I am proud that they are located so close to me, because it gives me a gentle reminder each morning about how lucky I am, and how there are still some amazing people in the world, who are willing to give and help and love unconditionally.

I second how awesome food for free is. I work with them to organize their pickups at the whole foods market that I work at, and I honestly look forward to seeing them every day. The drivers are really friendly, and it’s such a badass cause. I know that this isn’t such a Unilocal-​ish business or place, but I can’t pass up giving these guys their props for helping to bring a little charity to an increasingly conservative/​über-​capitalist city as boston has become.
I can’t remember who said it but on the back of all their trucks reads:
«When I feed the poor, they call me a saint;
When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.»
I’m no communist but I can’t say enough about this sort of thing.

FFF is a local nonprofit org that delivers perishable food and produce to many smaller charities and nonprofits such as homeless shelters that serve meals or have meal programs.
FFF solicits surplus or leftover food from local restaurants and farmers that would otherwise go to waste.
FFF daily delivers this food to the needy people that need it usually within 24 hours of it being donated.
FFF is a great nonprofit that does great things. I volunteered here once and helped them build a huge walk in refrigerator.
Bravo to this fine local charity.
