Food Access
COVID-19 update: Our office is closed to the public. For questions, email food@boston.gov. With Boston Public Schools closed to students, the City will continue to provide free breakfast and lunch meals to all Boston students. If you need help with food access, please visit our COVID-19 food resources page.
The Office of Food Access works to make healthy food more available and affordable in Boston. The Mayor's Office of Food Access wants 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 a more food secure community with a vibrant, inclusive food culture. We want to reflect the diversity of the residents of Boston.
