Project Bread is committed to making sure that people in Massachusetts can afford enough to eat because hunger is an injustice. Hundreds of years of racist policies have made getting food more challenging for Black, Brown, immigrant, and Indigenous communities, causing the injustice that these identities experience hunger at higher rates. Project Bread must be proactive in fighting systemic racism and economic discrimination, and actively work to end racism and discrimination within systems and organizations, including laws and policies. We must engage voices of all identities in breaking down barriers to getting food.
We seek out the expertise of those who experience hunger and make sure those voices are at the center of Project Bread’s strategy, research, and programs. This is essential to our policy work to build a system based on equity so that everyone gets what they need to thrive.
We understand that our actions must match our words. Project Bread commits to these values as an anti-hunger nonprofit, as an employer, and as a member of the community.
