Description:

The Two Dollars a Bag Donation Program operates through a network of volunteers in “Two Dollars a Bag” food distribution sites, situated in churches, schools, and senior housing complexes in Greater Boston. For a donation of $2, a family receives about 15 pounds of groceries. No one is turned away for an inability to pay. The “dignity of a dollar” approach is unique among hunger relief programs in that food recipients feel not ashamed but empowered, paying for their goods like everyone else.

Fair Foods is not an emergency feeding program. Fair Foods is weekly groceries, leveraging family food budgets to provide better and more food. More importantly, $2 Dollars a Bag sites are located in areas of economic stress.
