Your support makes a real difference in the lives of real people. From the parents eating less so their kids can have more, to the elder having to choose between buying groceries and paying bills, your support lifts the burden of food insecurity from those struggling under its weight.
School Breakfast
Jacinta loves rice and beans for breakfast, and that's just what she gets some days at school. Since she started eating breakfast at school, she's not always so tired before lunch like she used to be when that was often her first meal of the day. Recess is definitely more fun now!
Michelle, a long-time resident of Athol, shares her story about the challenges she faces to afford healthy food.
“I'd feel this big. I'd worked all my life. Had a wonderful job. And now all of a sudden, I gotta go to a food bank to survive.”

FoodSource Hotline
Maria called us in distress after losing her job. We helped her apply for SNAP and find emergency food to feed her family right away. The relief in her voice at the end of the call was palpable.
“I needed help filling out my SNAP application and you took the time to assist me. You were so patient and I'm so grateful!”

Summer Eats
Healthy meals for the summer
Judy loves getting lunch during summer at the meal site near her home in Framingham. She goes with her little sister every day to fill up and see her favorite cafeteria server. Her mom is glad she's getting healthy meals even when school is out.
Teachers know better than anyone else that a hungry student simply can't learn. But one meal is just a quick fix. Instead, Project Bread works to ensure students no longer go hungry both in school and during the summer months.
“I'm crying with relief because now I have a resource for my kids when school is out.”
