Overview
Partnerships to end hunger
Project Bread is committed to preventing and ending hunger in Massachusetts by providing access to affordable, healthy food to those in need today, while also working to eradicate the systemic causes of hunger, through policy, prevention, and partnerships.
We rely on our corporate partners and foundations to help advance this vital work.
We work to break the cycle of hunger by devising, funding, advocating for, and facilitating solutions that drive change at a macro level.
As the only statewide food security organization, we listen and learn, identify needs and opportunities, and connect people, resources, and programs—in ways both tried and new.
We rely on our partners, donors, corporate sponsors, and thousands of engaged citizens who participate each year in The Walk for Hunger, to help advance this vital work.
