The Food Drive

We drive food security in our community.

The Food Drive is a community-driven food rescue and hunger relief nonprofit organization based in Melrose, Massachusetts, serving neighborhoods north of Boston. We work alongside an extensive volunteer network to distribute rescued, surplus, and donated food at no cost to thousands of people—literally driving food from the point of donation to the point of need—all within a ten mile radius.
