MA can strengthen its local food system by making fresh, healthy food more accessible. This bill would formalize HIP, improve access in underserved communities, and ensure the state invests in local farmers through food assistance programs. We urge the MA House of Representatives to pass this bill.

Thanks MA Senate for passing “An Act Fostering Agricultural Resilience in MA!” The bill would permanently authorize Healthy Incentives Program (HIP), making the state-funded program permanent and putting money back into families’ pockets when they use SNAP to buy locally grown fruits and vegetables.

You’ve heard about The Walk for Hunger, the longest-running pledge walk in America that raises funds to fight hunger. Rain or shine, it has taken place every year since 1969, on the first Sunday in May, on Boston Common. This year, we’re changing things up. Meet The Swim for Hunger at the Charles.

Let’s Be Crystal Clear: Spring Break Highlights a Hunger Gap We Can — and Must — Close - Food Research & Action Center Published March 27, 2026 Many people think of spring break as a reprieve from homework, time for fun, or just a time to relax and recharge. But for the millions of children who lose access to free school breakfast and lunch and their parents who count on those meals to make ends meet, spring break creates significant financial pressure and stress for the family. And with the affordability crisis, matters are even worse.  Rising Food Prices Help […]

For many families, spring break doesn’t mean a break. It means higher grocery bills, more stress, and tough choices.

School meals and SNAP help. But when schools close, the gap grows.

Here’s how we can fix it: frac.org/blog/lets-be...

“We feed them so you can teach them,” said Catherine Henrique, School Nutrition Director at New Bedford Public Schools. Ensuring that every child starts the day with a healthy breakfast is essential to their well-being, academic achievement, and long-term success.

Project Bread and Massachusetts Acting Secretary of Education Amy Kershaw recently visited New Bedford Public Schools to highlight the critical role school breakfast programs play in supporting student success and reducing food insecurity and grocery costs for Massachusetts families.

We’re getting ready to roll 🌯 Join us on Thursday, March 19, from 6–8 p.m. as Project Bread President & CEO Erin McAleer steps behind the counter at Anna's Taqueria at 446 Harvard St in Brookline to roll burritos. For every entree purchased in person, $10 will support our mission to fight hunger.

The students highlighted the importance of making nutritious food accessible and advocated for sustainable solutions. Want to support our work to provide sustainable, scalable solutions that permanently move the needle on ending hunger? Join The Walk for Hunger at give.projectbread.org/walk!

Project Sprout aligns with plans to propose legislation that would subsidize fruits and vegetables to lower the cost of nutritious food and would require restaurants and grocery stores to donate surplus edible food rather than discard it.

“If we have enough money and resources to end hunger, then why hasn’t it ended?” That’s the question Sizer School sophomores want to answer. We welcomed them to our office today to listen to their presentation on hunger and their proposed solution, the grassroots organization “Project Sprout.”

Happy pi day!

We all deserve a piece of the pie!

That’s why I’m raising money for @projectbread.org’s Walk for Hunger, to get food to our hungry neighbors!

“Sometimes they miss breakfast at home…and they can feel like they’re safe here, to have food here, and not worry about being hungry,” says Susie Judge, school nutrition manager. “It’s great that we give them free meals, and they don’t have to worry about having to buy breakfast.”

Hosmer Elementary School takes breakfast seriously. Shortly before 8am, school nutrition staff prepared to welcome hungry students to their breakfast cart before classes began. As soon as the bell rang, students lined up to get their French toast sticks, cereal, and fruit to fuel their days.

Project Bread provides expert guidance and hands-on support, helping schools implement creative solutions such as Breakfast After the Bell and tailor breakfast programs to students’ needs. Together, we’re building a healthier, more equitable future for every student, one breakfast at a time.

A nutritious morning meal helps sharpen focus, boost energy, and support overall well-being. Since Massachusetts began offering free school meals to all students, 73,500 more children are enjoying school breakfast daily (comparing October 2019 to October 2023).

🍳 Happy National School Breakfast Week! We're celebrating the incredible benefits of free school breakfast for students. As Christina Follis, Cafeteria Manager at Clark Avenue Middle School, says, “Kids need to start their day with breakfast. Going to class hungry is not an option.”

Every great quest begins with preparation. For students, that prep is a nutritious school breakfast that fuels focus and learning. Yet too many children are still missing out because barriers stand in the way. During #NSBW, we are focused on clearing the path. frac.org/research/res...
