Our Story

The Feed The Hood Program in Boston was created by Occupy The Hood Boston in conjunction with the national Occupy The Hood movement. Sister Ife out of Detroit, who was looking for a project that Occupy The Hood chapters across the country could all participate in simultaneously, suggested the date of November 11th, 2011 to begin and this was the birth of Feed The Hood in Boston.

We began simply with a Food Drive, placing boxes at locations such as the Boston University School of Theology, MAMLEO and at our events and Community Forums.

With the community’s support we moved into further developing our distribution models focused on two distinct aspects:

Feed The Hood

Feed the Hood focuses on Community and Location Based distributions of hot prepared meals and ready to eat meals as well as distributions of groceries and produce directly to people in need in communal housing including Domestic Violence Shelters and Elderly Residences.

Fill Your Fridge

Fill Your Fridge was designed as a direct response program to provide individuals and families in need with groceries.
