Be Fed Foundation
We're For Humanity!
Vanessa Hurley
Founder and President
Hello! My name is Vanessa Hurley, the Founder & President of Be Fed Foundation. I grew up close to the Boston, MA area & have known from a young age I was here to serve, having a huge humanitarian heart. I started this nonprofit in hopes to be apart of ending world hunger & serving God's people. Our community Garden Project is our main focus towards harvesting and shipping produce to local food banks in hopes to decrease the stress of where the next meal is coming from.

Welcome to our foundation!

Hi everyone! My name's Sam, I'm a junior at Framingham State, and I am the treasurer of Be Fed Foundation. My major in college is Finance, and I thought this could be a great chance at expanding my career while giving back to the community, being a Danvers local myself. Very optimistic as to where this journey will lead, especially with the team we have. Thanks for reading and I hope to see you at the garden this year!
