We're incredibly grateful to the incoming freshmen of Harvard University's First-Year Urban Program for volunteering at our Yawkey food pantry and Healthy Families program. Together, they helped food pantry staff serve over 700 clients in the community and took the time to help organize and sterilize the family and children’s spaces for our Healthy Families program. Your teamwork and dedication have made a huge difference for the families we serve!
