Thanks to your support of Project Bread, more than 1,400 Summer Eats sites provided healthy meals and fun activities to children and teens—all completely free. And with $236,482 in grants distributed to Summer Eats sponsors, you made it possible for programs to expand into new neighborhoods, launch more Grab & Go sites, and add engaging activities for kids. The result? A summer where children were not just fed, but free to thrive.

our approach

Solutions that make ends meet

We go beyond giving out meals. Solving hunger requires addressing the problems at its core —affordability and access. We connect people and communities to big-impact federal nutrition programs and advocate for equitable policies. Our work boosts household food budgets today and informs enduring change for increased food security for all.

Our Policy Priorities

Advocating for policies with impact

No one in Massachusetts should be going hungry. There's enough food available to feed everyone in the Commonwealth, but the high cost of living and wages that haven’t kept up prevent households from affording basic necessities.

Project Bread works with legislators to craft policy solutions to strengthen critical nutrition programs while engaging our partners to address the underlying factors contributing to hunger. Our advocacy is driven by the real-time challenges of people experiencing food insecurity, so we can permanently break the cycle of hunger.
