2011Year-At-A-Glance
January:
Home Delivery began the year with 51 clients. This
program, which brings food to low-income seniors
and people with disabilities, was funded by the City
of Cambridge’s Community Development Block
Grant Program and The Bushrod Campbell-Adah
Hall Charity Fund.
February:
Didriks held its third, annual, month-long fundraiser
for Food For Free.
March:
Produce Rescue and Distribution began deliveries
to Pine Street Inn, with support from the Liberty
Mutual Foundation. Produce Rescue also began
serving two of the Hildebrand Family Self Help
Center’s family shelters.
April:
Food For Free hosted the Cambridge Forum with
Andrew Rimas, editor of the Improper Bostonian and
co-author of Empires of Food: Feast, Famine, and the Rise
and Fall of Civilizations.
July:
Boston Area Gleaners made their first delivery of the
year of fruit and vegetables gleaned from local farms.
By year’s end, we would distribute 26,800 pounds of
BAG’s gleanings.
Food For Free began providing rescued produce to
Haven from Hunger, in Peabody.
Chef Erwin Ramos, of Olé Mexican Grill, cooked
a benefit dinner at Whim, the restaurant at Smolak
Farms, with proceeds going to Food For Free.
August:
Field of Greens harvested 1,216 pounds of beets,
cabbage, carrots, and collards this month, on their way
to a harvest of 4,400 pounds by season’s end.
September:
Operations Manager Dennis McCarthy injured his
knee, necessitating some time away from his routes.
Thankfully, Metro Pedal Power was available to pick
up a number of deliveries, making it possible for us
to keep serving all of our partners during the busy
autumn months.
The City of Cambridge honored Dennis McCarthy,
Operations Manager, and Simon Walsh, Home Delivery
Driver, for their outstanding contributions to the quality
of life in Cambridge.
October:
May:
November:
After several years of partnering to rescue food
from Farmers’ Markets, Metro Pedal Power began
delivering food to some of our smaller recipients.
The first beneficiaries of MetroPed’s deliveries were
Prospect Hill Academy and the Fletcher Maynard
Afterschool Program. This work was supported by
Community Health Network Area 17.
June:
The Transportation Partnership marked its first
anniversary. This program picks up food orders from
the Greater Boston Food Bank and delivers them to
Cambridge food programs that do not have their
own transportation. By year’s end this program
would deliver 676,000 pounds of food.
Food For Free’s annual fundraiser, The Party Under
the Harvest Moon, raised more than $50,000 for
our Produce Rescue program.
Rendezvous in Central Square held its second, annual
Giving Thanks Benefit Luncheon, hosted by Chef
Steve Johnson and General Manager Nicole Bernier.
December:
With support from the Clipper Ship Foundation
and the Klarman Family Foundation, Food For Free
purchased a new, larger truck to replace our old Hino.
Fully recuperated, and with a new knee, Dennis
McCarthy returns to his role as Operations Manager.
Harvest Co-op Market helped shoppers support Food
For Free and The Greater Boston Food Bank by offering
gift cards at its registers.

Administrative Assistant
Early in 2005, soon after I began my tenure as executive director, I wrote in our 2004 Annual Report:
“Food For Free - sounds simple. We rescue food soon to be discarded, supplement that with
purchases of fresh produce from the wholesalers at the N.E. Produce Center and, on occasion,
non-perishables from the Greater Boston Bank. Then, we give it away—for free!”
Since then, a lot has changed. As a nation, we›ve experienced the worst economic times since the
Great Depression. Some of us, and many of our neighbors in the communities where we live, have
suffered greatly as a result. More people than ever confront the challenges of food insecurity, and
hunger, on a daily basis. Too many families find it ever more difficult to put a healthy meal on the
table, especially for their children. Obesity as a potential epidemic in our society seems more likely with
every passing year. Health issues related to what we in America eat, such as diabetes and heart disease,
apparently are more prevalent than ever. And, as oil prices go up, so does the cost of food—especially for
fresh, nutritious foods like the vegetables and fruits which are so important to a healthy lifestyle. So, too, has the work of Food For Free changed. In 2011, we delivered nearly three times as much food as
in 2004. We serve more than thirty more programs than we did then. We serve fifty percent more home
delivery clients. We go to the Greater Boston Food Bank everyday now rather than just twice a week. We now
collect more than twice as much fresh produce from local farms which we typically deliver no later than the
following day. We still rely greatly on volunteers—for home delivery, on the farm, on our truck routes, in the
office, for our annual Party Under the Harvest Moon, and, of course, on our Board of Directors. But, we also
now have Adam and Julio on our staff to assist our drivers—and given all the extra expectations, both of
them have made a huge contribution to the success of our daily work.
Yet now, as I approach my retirement at the end of June (and my entrance into my Medicare years!),
I can look back and see how much the work of Food For Free is the same as it was in 2004—and, too, as
in 1981 when Food For Free was founded. We still get a whole lot done without lots of extra expense. In
2005, Dennis was our Operations Manager, Christian and Dann were our regular drivers, Simon directed
our Home Delivery program, and Michelle led all of our development efforts from our 96 square foot
office in the enclosed second floor back porch of the CEOC building—and she has to share that limited
space with me! In 2012, we’ve added some hours, especially for Dann, Simon, and Michelle, but we’re
all still here, and the Food For Free team has been an amazingly committed and effective group. All you
need to do is ask all the people with whom we work and serve, and, I can assure you, you’ll find out.
And at Field of Greens, we still grow all that wonderful food with just two very part-time—and very hard
working—farm managers—and lots of enthusiastic volunteers. When I first came on board I commented:
“That’s the essence of our mission, but it takes a whole lot of work by our truly dedicated
staff and board of directors to make it happen. Moreover, it also requires the generous
contributions of a diverse group of food wholesalers, retailers, distributors and producers. And
it is essential that we receive the support of our contributors—scores of business sponsors and
supporters, foundations and hundreds (now thousands!) of individual donors.
It may sound simple, but, if we are to continue to fight locally the essential fight against
hunger and food insecurity, it is critical that all of us continue to work together to make our
communities truly livable for our neighbors.”
I feel so very fortunate for my time here at Food For Free. I truly thank everyone who’s played a part in
our work—and, to be sure, in supporting our efforts, too—over these past years for the opportunity I’ve
had to be a part of something so important and so fundamental to the health and welfare of our cities
and towns. I hope to stay connected with Food For Free in the years ahead, as the need for our work will
still be there, only, as there is now compared to 1981, or even 2004, there’s likely to be a lot more work,
trying to meet what likely will be an ever-growing need.

Food For Free Annual Report 2011
Five days a week, our drivers visit the New England
Produce Center where they solicit donations of
fresh fruits and vegetables that might otherwise
go to waste. They then visit grocery stores,
bakeries and farms, where they gather produce,
baked goods, and other foods.
May through November, we collect from nine
Farmers’ Markets, annually rescuing 100,000
pounds of local produce.
We distributed 1,020,000 pounds of food
in 2011.
The Transportation Partnership
This new program picks up food from the GBFB
and delivers it to 13 food programs that lack
their own transportation.
Field of Greens
Hosted by Lindentree Farm, Field of Greens
supplements the food we rescue with vegetables
grown by our own staff and volunteers. In 2011,
we harvested 4,400 pounds of organically
grown vegetables.
Home Delivery
Home Delivery brings monthly deliveries of food
to 60 low-income Cambridge seniors and

Hall Charity Fund.
February:
Didriks held its third, annual, month-long fundraiser
for Food For Free.

Mutual Foundation. Produce Rescue also began

Food For Free hosted the Cambridge Forum with
Andrew Rimas, editor of the Improper Bostonian and
co-author of Empires of Food: Feast, Famine, and the Rise
and Fall of Civilizations.

Boston Area Gleaners made their first delivery of the

a benefit dinner at Whim, the restaurant at Smolak
Farms, with proceeds going to Food For Free.

cabbage, carrots, and collards this month, on their way
to a harvest of 4,400 pounds by season’s end.
September:
Operations Manager Dennis McCarthy injured his
knee, necessitating some time away from his routes.
Thankfully, Metro Pedal Power was available to pick
up a number of deliveries, making it possible for us
to keep serving all of our partners during the busy
autumn months.
The City of Cambridge honored Dennis McCarthy,
Operations Manager, and Simon Walsh, Home Delivery
Driver, for their outstanding contributions to the quality
of life in Cambridge.

After several years of partnering to rescue food
from Farmers’ Markets, Metro Pedal Power began

The first beneficiaries of MetroPed’s deliveries were
Prospect Hill Academy and the Fletcher Maynard
Afterschool Program. This work was supported by
Community Health Network Area 17.
June:
The Transportation Partnership marked its first
anniversary. This program picks up food orders from
the Greater Boston Food Bank and delivers them to
Cambridge food programs that do not have their
own transportation. By year’s end this program
would deliver 676,000 pounds of food.
Food For Free’s annual fundraiser, The Party Under
the Harvest Moon, raised more than $50,000 for
our Produce Rescue program.
Rendezvous in Central Square held its second, annual
Giving Thanks Benefit Luncheon, hosted by Chef
Steve Johnson and General Manager Nicole Bernier.
December:
With support from the Clipper Ship Foundation
and the Klarman Family Foundation, Food For Free
purchased a new, larger truck to replace our old Hino.
Fully recuperated, and with a new knee, Dennis
McCarthy returns to his role as Operations Manager.

For Free and The Greater Boston Food Bank by offering
gift cards at its registers.
