A cofounder of Granite Telecommunications, Rand Currier brings decades of experience to an organization that has emerged as a leading provider of communications services in the United States and Canada. Due to the philanthropic leadership of CEO Rob Hale, Granite Telecommunications and COO Rand Currier, the company has been repeatedly recognized for its significant contributions to area charities. In the months leading up to the holiday season, dozens of employees were mobilized to volunteer their time at the Greater Boston Food Bank.
Divided into four teams, Granite volunteers aided the Greater Boston Food Bank’s efforts to feed those in need in eastern Massachusetts. The food bank is the largest provider of food in New England and is one of the most noteworthy organizations of its kind in the nation. A member of Feeding America, the Greater Boston Food Bank is committed to providing at least one meal to every person in need in the region.
Annually providing approximately 50 million meals to people experiencing hunger is no small task. The giant undertaking is centralized at the organization’s Yawkey Distribution Center in South Boston, where food is received, sorted, and distributed to 530 member agencies and 60 direct distribution programs. Much of the food cycling through the Yawkey Distribution Center is donated by the food industry or obtained through financial contributions.
