Our Mission
Project Bread connects people and communities in Massachusetts to reliable sources of food while advocating for policies that make food more accessible—so that no one goes hungry.
“Human beings need food. It’s a basic necessity we all require. So why are we fighting about who gets it and under what circumstances?”
Erin McAleer, President, Project Bread
