Food Access
COVID-19 update: If you need help with food access, please visit our COVID-19 food resources page.
The Mayor's Office of Food Access works to improve the accessibility and affordability of healthy food in Boston. We want everyone to have access to nutritious food. That food should be affordable, easy to find, and reflect the many cultures of our City.
Our goal is to create food-secure communities with vibrant and inclusive food cultures. We want to reflect the diversity of the residents of Boston.
