Our Mission at Beverly Bootstraps
With the generous support of our donors, volunteers, and the community at large, we have grown to be a leading social service agency on the North Shore of Boston. We are unique in our approach to the issues of hunger. While recognizing that people need food in hand to stem immediate hunger, our clients also need the opportunity to be embraced by the community, educated about the resources available, and empowered to improve their own lives. As we continue to grow, our commitment to the community remains the same: to provide critical resources to families and individuals so that they may achieve self-sufficiency. We accomplish this while maintaining our commitment to fiscal responsibility and serving as trusted stewards of the organization.

"Beverly Bootstraps was first established in 1992 as a Food Pantry in the basement of the First Baptist Church. We have since grown to be a leading social service agency on the North Shore with a mission to provide critical resources to families and individuals so that they may achieve self-sufficiency. We are thrilled to be part of the Ride & Stride for Food this year because we are always looking to connect with other incredible agencies doing this work. We cannot do this work alone and it is to all of our benefit to be in community together and rally around a goal of ending food insecurity. The Ride & Stride for Food also provides an opportunity to engage supporters in a new and exciting way. We've had amazing buy in so far from our staff, board, and their networks and we are hoping to continue that momentum. We also love a little competition and are looking forward to September!"
