Berkshire Partners Blue Hill Club 15 Talbot Ave, Dorchester, MA 02124
Thank you to our official food partner, event day sponsor, and moving partner!
In recognition of Sandy M. Edgerley's outstanding leadership as Chair of the Board of Directors for Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston from 2005 to 2010, and her dedicated service spanning over 14 years, we established the Edgerley Family Service Day. This initiative honors her significant contributions and continued commitment to our organization's mission and the youth we serve.
Join Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston for a community-wide day of service!
We're bringing together our entire network of staff, board, Friends Council members, advisors, corporate sponsors, community partners, and their families to make a tremendous impact in our Club communities. Thanks to our generous food partner, we aim to prepare over 4,000 food bags. These vital resources will be distributed across all 9 Clubs and YouthConnect, ensuring that our families have access to essential nutrition.
Food is the foundation for growth and opportunity. When young people have consistent access to nutritious meals, they can focus, learn, and thrive. Yet, for too many families across our city and Commonwealth, food insecurity is an everyday reality and a chronic crisis.
The Challenge:
Between November 2024 and March 2025, 37% of Massachusetts residents experienced food insecurity, with 24% reporting they skipped meals—a rate four times higher than pre-pandemic levels.
1 in 6 residents depends on SNAP or WIC, including 32% children and 26% seniors.
Hunger remains most prevalent among Black, Hispanic, and LGBTQ+ communities.
