Dorchester Bay has already delivered 130 bags of groceries to households across Dorchester. Our hyper-local and in-residence distribution strategy makes sure that the needs of the elderly, non-English speaking, and differently abled are being met. We`re aiming to deliver 300 more bags this weekend, with a goal to hit 1,000 bags by the end of this month.

No one knows when partial SNAP benefits will land.
Small businesses are already feeling the shortfall NOW.
At Davey’s Super-Market in Roxbury, about half of customers rely on SNAP. Sales typically rise at the start of the month when benefits are released. This month, they haven’t.
This isn’t just a delay. It`s a serious disruption destabilizing the small businesses that anchor local food access.
Help close the SNAP gap. Text WEGOTUS to 44-321.
