On Sunday, September 27, 2026, the DISH Food Pantry will participate in Three Squares New England's 15th annual Ride & Stride for Food event in Dedham, MA. This is our third consecutive year participating!
This important event raises critical funds to fight hunger in our state. A staggering 40% of households in Massachusetts are food insecure. The DISH Food Pantry is doing our part to fight food insecurity at Bunker Hill Community College (BHCC), the largest community college in Massachusetts. At least 100% of the funds our team raises for this event go directly to DISH to stock the food pantry for the upcoming academic year!
In 2024, we raised over $3,800 for DISH. In 2025, our goal was to raise $10,000 as a team to help keep our pantry stocked as we experienced donation reductions and funding cuts. Thanks to the generosity of our community and the dedication of our team of walkers and riders, we were able to raise over $17,500 for DISH and had a blast doing it! We would love to surpass our 2025 total this year!
We hope you will consider joining or donating to our team. We are so grateful for your support!
