In Your Community
As the state's leading antihunger organization, we are dedicated to partnering with community agencies and working locally to alleviate and prevent hunger.
 Annual Status Report on Hunger
Each year, Project Bread researches and produces the Status Report on Hunger — the state's annual report card on the prevalence of hunger in our communities.
FoodSource Hotline
Project Bread runs the state's only toll-free information and referral service for people in need of local food resources. Learn more about the Hotline or call 1-800-645-8333.
Food Resource Guides
Project Bread has created Food Resource Guides tailored to specific communities around the state. Each guide is a comprehensive list of local resources including: DTA and WIC offices; food pantries, soup kitchens, and low-cost food sources; and information about school meals and summer meals.
Local emergency food programs
Project Bread works in 128 communities supporting over 400 emergency food programs across Massachusetts. Learn more about our funded agencies.
Regional Hunger Networks
Project Bread encourages emergency food providers in Massachusetts to collaborate and communicate with each other, and helped form Regional Hunger Networks throughout the state. These networks bring together representatives from food pantries, soup kitchens, food banks, and Project Bread to receive training, discuss trends in emergency food programs, share local food resources, and coordinate holiday food distributions.
