👟 Thanks to everyone who showed up for our 58th Walk for Hunger this morning! Thousands of you showed what community and advocacy are all about. Whether it’s your first walk or your 20th, your dedication to ending hunger in Massachusetts is inspiring.
We’re not done yet. Hunger has reached crisis levels, with 40% of households in this state facing food insecurity. The need is great, and so is our ability to meet it when we join together. Keep giving, keep fundraising, and keep moving the needle on hunger.

No matter what generation you identify with, we can all agree that SNAP saves lives and funding the Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA) is essential in making sure people can put food on the table.
Join us in asking the Massachusetts Senate to support amendments that better serve families experiencing food insecurity across Massachusetts, including increasing DTA capacity. ACT NOW at the link in our bio!

⚠️ The Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA) is facing a critical staffing shortage, leaving thousands of residents unable to access essential SNAP benefits. Long wait times, unanswered calls, and complicated paperwork are creating significant barriers for those in need.
In March alone, 81% of calls to DTA went unanswered, preventing most people from reaching a live worker. As a result, many are forced to make repeated, time-consuming trips to DTA offices just to get help. Over the past year, nearly 140,000 individuals—including 48,000 children—have lost SNAP benefits, largely due to shifting requirements and difficulties connecting with DTA.

🌟 We honored Jean McMurray with the Patrick Hughes Award for Social Justice during our 58th Walk for Hunger on May 3! With 30 years of leadership at the Worcester County Food Bank, Jean has been a steadfast advocate in the fight against hunger in Massachusetts.
“I am so humbled because Project Bread means so much to me, personally and professionally,” she said. “This award recognizes 30 years of partnership in pursuit of our shared mission to end hunger. Project Bread has always focused on real, systemic solutions aimed at preventing hunger in the first place."
Jean has also served on Project Bread’s Board of Directors since January 2007, becoming Board Emeritus in 2023. She was instrumental in launching the Make Hunger History Coalition, a collective working to permanently end hunger in the state. We're thankful for Jean and her contributions.

Worcester showed up. 🥾💙
Rachel’s Table was proud to walk alongside 3,500 participants from 216 towns across Massachusetts at @projectbread ’s 58th annual Walk for Hunger, raising $1 million to fight food insecurity across the state.
With 40% of Massachusetts households experiencing food insecurity and SNAP cuts hitting families hard, this walk was more than a mile on the Boston Common. It was a statement.
Team donations are still open! Every dollar goes directly toward fresh food and milk for families across Worcester County. Link in bio. 🥛🍞
Thank you to everyone who walked, donated, and shared.

No Farm Bill is better than a bad Farm Bill. But last week, the US House of Representatives passed a bad Farm Bill that does nothing to help MA residents access healthy food. Worse, the bill fails to reverse the harmful SNAP cuts passed by Congress last summer.
We are grateful that all nine members of the Massachusetts Congressional delegation stood up for our friends, family, and neighbors by voting no. Join us in urging our US senators to oppose any Farm Bill without improvements to SNAP and other federal nutrition programs. Take action at the link in our bio!
Thanks to our incredible community, we’ve hit our $1M goal for The Walk for Hunger. More than 4,000 of you walked this past weekend. Your generosity and dedication made this achievement possible.
We’re celebrating, but not stopping. Across Massachusetts, need is at crisis levels—new data shows 40% of our neighbors struggle to put food on the table. That’s why we’re aiming for a stretch goal of $1.25M to harness our momentum from The Walk and meet this urgent need.
Your support connects families to food when there’s nothing left at home, makes sure kids have enough to eat year-round, and guides everyday people through moments of crisis. At the same time, you’re advancing long-term solutions to end hunger for good.
Every dollar raised through The Walk fuels the fight to end hunger. Share your Walk for Hunger fundraising page or make a donation at give.projectbread.org/walk. Thanks for your advocacy!

Another successful Walk for Hunger in the books ✅
Thank you to every single person who laced up their shoes and made a difference yesterday 🧡
We’re under $2,000 away from the highest goal we’ve ever set - and there’s still time to help us cross that finish line. Link in bio!
This Sunday, NeighborHealth joined thousands of others across the state to make hunger history at the 58th annual Walk for Hunger in Boston Common. Our team of staff, family, friends and patients, raised $5,000 to make it easier for people to access and afford food in Boston. By participating in the Commonwealth Fund Challenge, 60% of the funds we raised go directly to support NeighborHealth’s own hunger relief programs.
We are so proud of our team. Thank you to @eastbostonfarmersmarket and @letsgetmovin5k for leading the charge and huge thanks to all who donated!#walkforhunger #neighborhealth #carebeyondtheclinic #projectbread
