Congratulations to the Boston University Class of 2021! Join BU in celebrating the accomplishments of the University graduates during the Baccalaureate Service and hear the Baccalaureate address from The Greater Boston Food Bank President & CEO [...]Catherine D'Amato.
In the 1970s, Ms. D’Amato ran a small, local food cupboard. She soon organized the area’s many similar operations into a larger, more efficient food pantry program and, in 1979, created the even larger San Francisco Food Bank to supply those pantries. From there, she moved east as executive director of the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts, where she established the first food bank farm in the United States, inspiring dozens of food banks to follow suit. In 1995, Ms. D’Amato assumed leadership of the Greater Boston Food Bank, which, at the time, distributed 7.5 million meals per year. Today, the food bank is a $100 million charitable organization, serving 82 million healthy meals each year through more than 600 distribution sites in 190 cities and towns in eastern Massachusetts.
