Project Bread

Project Bread makes emergency food accessible to those who would otherwise go hungry; educates, mobilizes, and empowers people through its signature event, The Walk for Hunger, and other avenues of action; conducts research and develops innovative solutions to end hunger; and, in partnership with others, advocates freedom from hunger across the Commonwealth. Project Bread brings hungry families a wide range of solutions that provide immediate relief and long-term support. It funds 400 emergency food programs throughout the state through The Walk for Hunger. It works unflaggingly to support enrollment in school breakfast and lunch programs, after-school snack programs, summer recreation lunch programs, federal nutrition programs, and it provides food vouchers and food stamps through community health centers. Project Bread evaluates every initiative by asking: ?how does this make a hungry person feel?? All program development is shaped by the organization?s concern for removing stigma, removing barriers to access, providing the most nutritious food possible, and preserving the dignity of those who need help.
