The MLCS’ Grab & Go Produce hub is not a food pantry or food bank, but a community-based affordable produce hub that rescues fresh surplus vegetable and fruits, making it available to households at deeply reduced prices.
A Community Match to Build a More Affordable Food Future
For decades, families across Boston have relied on affordable produce access through neighborhood-based distribution systems rooted in dignity, health, and community.
Now, Maverick Landing Community Services is expanding that vision through:
the new Grab & Go Produce Hub in East Boston
neighborhood produce markets
affordable $5 produce bags
rescued fresh fruits and vegetables
expanded access to healthy plant-based food across Boston neighborhoods
Help Us Launch This Next Chapter
To help launch this next chapter, a community donor has pledged to match donations up to $150,000.
That means:
A $25 donation becomes $50
A $100 donation becomes $200
A monthly gift helps sustain twice the amount of produce access
This is more than fundraising. It is an investment in a healthier, more affordable, and less wasteful food system.
