The Dedham Savings Community Foundation has pledged $50,000 in grants to the Greater Boston Food Bank to support local food pantries in communities served by the Bank, according to an announcement by Peter Brown, Dedham Savings Chief Executive Officer.
This special round of funding underscores Dedham Savings Foundation’s commitment to addressing growing concerns around inflation and the ability for families to meet rising food costs. In recent years, the Dedham Savings Community Foundation has issued special grants supporting heating assistance, housing stability, and food insecurity.
Stated Brown, who also serves as President & Trustee of the Dedham Savings Community Foundation, “Local pantries see high volume in the number of families needing food assistance. The Dedham Savings Community Foundation board was strongly in support of responding to this ongoing need.”
