Join the BFC in our Annual Thanksgiving Gift Card Drive for the
Bedford Food Bank
Now through November 12, 2025
This season, the Bedford Family Connection is teaming up with the Bedford Food Bank to help local families in need. With rising attendance and reduced food assistance programs, the Food Bank needs our community’s help more than ever.
The Bedford Food Bank’s most urgent need right now is grocery gift cards or cash donations — their space is limited for traditional food pantry drives.
If you haven’t heard of the Bedford Family Connection (BFC) before, we’re a local nonprofit of Bedford families working to support one another and strengthen our community. This month, we’re helping promote and collect donations for the Bedford Food Bank to ensure every local family has what they need this Thanksgiving.
You can make a tax-deductible donation directly to the Bedford Food Bank:
Mail a check payable to: The Town of Bedford c/o Bedford Health Department 12 Mudge Way, Bedford, MA 01730
Donate online via credit card at: https://unipaygold.unibank.com/CustomerInfo.aspx?Customerid=2791 (or scan the QR code below if available)
Note: Unibank charges a $3.95 processing fee per transaction. To help reduce fees and maximize every dollar, the BFC is also collecting donations via Venmo @bfctoday through November 12 — all funds will be combined into one large community gift for the Food Bank.
No Venmo? No problem.
You can also donate online at bfctoday.org/sponsor and select “Bedford Food Bank” from the list of causes.
Families can also contribute small seasonal treats (like candy canes, hot chocolate, or other goodies) and homemade cards made by kids. These will be shared with local families to bring some extra joy this season.
Thank you for helping us support our neighbors this Thanksgiving! Together, we’re spreading kindness and care across Bedford.
