Food Insecurity continues to be a problem in our area. In Eastern Massachusetts, there are 114,660 food insecure children and 8.7% of all citizens being food insecure overall according to Feeding America.
The Belle Isle Rotary Club, serving East Boston, Revere, and Winthrop recently answered a call for volunteers by the Revere Food Pantry located at the Revere First Congregational Church. The Club enjoyed the Service so much, they voted on volunteering once a month (in lieu of that week’s club meeting) at the Revere Food Pantry.
