BOSTON — Senior Whole Health (SWH) by Molina Healthcare employees volunteered on August 18 and 29 at the Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB) packing Family Meal Boxes. During the event, 30 SWH employees came together to pack 10,440 pounds of food, enough to make approximately 8,700 meals possible for eastern Massachusetts residents in need.

Each of GBFB’s Family Meal Boxes contains 32 pounds of food that provides families with food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This includes cereal, peanut butter, pasta, shelf-stable proteins, and more. Two nutritious recipes are added to the boxes, which can be made from the included ingredients.

SWH is committed to helping the Greater Boston community combat food insecurity. According to GBFB’s most recent Food Equity and Access Report, 1 in 3 adults in eastern Massachusetts experience hunger.
