For the rest of the summer, every time a Bedford GISFW client refers a friend who ends up becoming a GISFW member, the Food Pantry will receive $100. We'll also get $1 for every pound lost by members who bring a friend. Help yourself, your friends, the pantry, and a local business all at the same time! Many thanks to Bedford Get In Shape for Women.

We've been providing free community dinners for a long time. Lately there have been wide swings in attendance, from as few as 13 people to as many as 55. We'd like to know what we can do to improve attendance overall. Do you have suggestions for us, or insight into why some nights attendance is so low? We'd love to hear your thoughts. Please send us a note using the Contact link, or leave a message at 781-275-7355. Thanks for your help!

This year's Turkey Trot, held Thanksgiving morning, produced over $3,000 of contributions to the Bedford Food Pantry, 20% more than last year. Fundraisers like this are essential to our continued operation, and we are deeply grateful to the organizers and participants. To make your donation, click the "Donate" tab.
