Brown Bag Program

The Brown Bag Program in Cambridge, MA, is dedicated to alleviating food insecurity for local residents by offering essential food assistance through nutritious grocery bags. Sponsored by the Greater Boston Food Bank and Somerville-Cambridge Elder Services (SCES), participants can receive a monthly supply of 10-15 pounds of healthy groceries, ensuring that families have access to sustenance when they need it most. Each household is eligible for one bag, and to participate, members must present their Brown Bag Card. We prioritize accessibility, allowing participants to bring a helper or cart for the pickup, and even authorize friends or family to collect groceries on their behalf. Join us in supporting our community's nutritional needs with warmth and care.
