The Y’s Hunger Prevention program now operates from a new 26,700 sq. ft. warehouse in Roxbury, featuring large-scale refrigeration and storage. This centralized hub expands our capacity to source, store, and distribute fresh, nutritious, and culturally relevant food. Located near the Greater Boston Food Bank, local neighborhoods, and major highways, it streamlines rescued food distribution and strengthens the city’s food access network.

The SNAP-Ed program provides nutrition and physical activity education and other valuable resources to youth and adults who receive or are eligible for SNAP benefits. SNAP-Ed’s goal is to help SNAP eligible individuals make nutritious food choices on a limited budget and choose a physically active lifestyle. Our SNAP-Ed team offers education lessons at community partners sites, YMCA after school programs, and Early Education Centers. Administered lessons focus on topics such as reading food labels, eating local, healthy substitutions, and increasing physical activity. Activities for SNAP-Ed include food preparation demonstrations, cooking classes, recipe cards, taste tests, and physical activity routines.
