Financial Assistance for Food
SNAP
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), is a federal nutrition program (formerly known as food stamps) that provides monthly financial assistance to purchase groceries to Massachusetts residents who qualify.
Help inform potentially eligible residents about SNAP and connect them to assistance to enroll.
Massachusetts Food Helpline
FoodSource Hotline
Project Bread's FoodSource Hotline is the statewide food helpline for Massachusetts. Providing comprehensive information and referrals to food assistance programs in Massachusetts. A "one-stop-shop" for callers to learn about everything that is availble to help them afford/access food. It is always free and confidential. Counselors can assist in 180 languages and connect callers to both local and federal food programs. They can also screen callers to determine if they are eligible for SNAP and assist with SNAP applications.
Free Meals for Kids & Teens
Summer Eats
Free meals are available for all kids & teens, ages 0-18, at hundreds of locations throughout Massachusetts. In the summer months, these meals are provided through the program known as Summer Eats. There is no sign up. No identification required to pick-up meals. Meals will be available through September 2021.
These meals are federally-reimbursed but the programs are administered at the community-level by sites and sponsors with the support of Project Bread and the MA Department of Elementary & Secondary Education (DESE).
This program is underutilized, and it's largely because families don't know about it — you can help a lot by spreading the word!
