The First Spring Hunger Heroes Food Drop Was a Success Each November, United Way of Greater New Bedford collects food donations to create Thanksgiving baskets for families in need. If it were not for these efforts, many local families would not have a traditional Thanksgiving meal to celebrate the holiday. This spring, United Way decided to duplicate that program for another noble cause. Hunger Heroes - Spring Edition addresses the food insecurity experienced by local students during school vacation week. Kids rely on the breakfast and meal plans provided by the school to get through the week. During spring break, kids don’t have access to those packaged meals and snacks. United Way of Greater New Bedford stepped in to fill the gap. Unfortunately, this year’s gap is wider than in the past due to the pandemic. Lost jobs have taken a toll on young families struggling to make ends meet.
