CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – On Saturday, Nov. 19, help to feed your neighbors by joining Food for Free for a benefit brunch at Vialé to support the Cambridge-based nonprofit’s food rescue, school and transportation programs. Vialé serves ingredient-driven, Italian-inspired food in a warm, casual atmosphere, and was named Boston’s Best 2015 by The Improper Bostonian for dining in Central Square. Last year, this event raised more than $3000.
Since 1981, Food For Free has responded to local hunger by rescuing food that would otherwise go to waste, and distributing it to local emergency food systems such as food pantries, youth programs, shelters, and more. As one of the nation’s first and oldest food rescue programs, Food For Free, feeds more than 30,000 families annually in Boston
The benefit brunch will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Vialé, which is located at 540 Massachusetts Ave in Cambridge. Tickets are $25. Thanks to the generosity of Vialé, 100 percent of ticket sales will go to directly support Food For Free and its programming. Reservations should be made in advance by calling 617-576-1900.
