MLCS is a community hub that helps families build healthier, more financially stable lives. Through affordable fresh food, housing support, education, workforce development, and community services, we create practical pathways to economic opportunity and better health.
By recovering more than 120,000 pounds of healthy food each month, we're increasing health while expanding affordable food access across Greater Boston and investing in stronger, more resilient communities while reducing waste.
