Each year, The Food Project works with over 140 teens and thousands of volunteers to farm on 42 acres of urban and suburban farmland in Beverly, Boston, Ipswich, Lincoln and Lynn.

| Asian Task Force Against Domestic Violence (ATASK)
The Asian Task Force Against Domestic Violence (ATASK)'s challenging mission is to prevent domestic violence in Asian families and communities and provide hope to survivors. ATASK started New England's first shelter and support services for Asian survivors in 1992, in response to the growing immigrant population in Massachusetts and the lack of culturally and linguistically appropriate services. Annually, thirty staff fluent in over 12 Asian languages and dialects assist thousands of clients and children in building violence-free lives. ATASK's innovative programs also include teen dating violence prevention and training for police and medical and dental professionals. For more information, please visit: www.atask.org.
Longwood Symphony Orchestra will perform in Jordan Hall on May 1, 2010, in support of the work of the Asian Task Force Against Domestic Violence (ATASK).
