🎉  We’re celebrating a huge win for food security in MA! Both the House and Senate included $176.6 million for the Department of Transitional Assistance in their budgets—a direct investment to protect SNAP benefits for thousands of children, families, & seniors across the state.

This milestone was made possible through your tireless advocacy: community, partners, the Make Hunger History coalition, and supporters who believe no one should worry about their next meal. You’ve sent 800+ messages raising your voice for families’ right to access & afford food!

Let’s keep the momentum going. Stand up for DTA funding and help us ensure every household in Massachusetts can put food on the table. Send your message to Governor Healey now at projectbread.org/act

People should not have to submit the same paperwork multiple times, face transportation challenges getting to an agency office, or repeatedly call a hotline just to access the food assistance they are eligible for.

Election Day is TODAY, November 3! Stand up for the issues that matter to you. Don’t forget to cast your vote before 8 p.m. Every vote counts—make your voice heard! #electionday

Through our FoodSource Hotline, Project Bread is hearing from people who are eligible for SNAP, doing everything they're asked to do, and still, no SNAP. Read their stories. projectbread.org/news/massachus…

3 out of 4 calls to DTA aren’t getting through due to understaffing — leaving families who qualify for SNAP at risk of losing benefits. You've sent 700+ messages to legislators demanding action. But we’re not at the finish line yet. Keep the pressure on: projectbread.org/act

Friday at Witchcraft Heights Elem. was the launch of 'Strengthening School Breakfast Challenge,' by @MassLtGov & @MASchoolsK12 to urge schools to expand breakfast & provide healthy, locally sourced meals.

Food insecurity is up. Unemployment is up. The number of people receiving SNAP benefits is down - 196,000 down. It's not an indication of a decline in need. It's mostly because of federal policy changes👇

What do school meals make possible? When kids have reliable access to nourishing meals, they have the energy to learn, grow, and connect. Learn more: projectbread.org/news/school-me…

When free school meals have become normalized in Massachusetts.

Thanks to your tireless advocacy, the House’s supplemental budget includes a significant increase in funding for the Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA). Support systems like DTA need full resources so people can get the help they need.

Let’s keep up the momentum as the budget process moves to the Senate.

We need the Senate to include this commitment in their budget — advocate at projectbread.org/act

Boston Food Access Council’s (BFAC) People’s Potluck sent a clear message: DTA matters. SNAP matters.

#SNAPMatters

SNAP access is at risk in Massachusetts. We need to take action now! Federal cuts are stripping vital food assistance from families—and the situation is made worse because they can’t reach DTA.

🎉 Happy National School Lunch Week! Every Massachusetts student gets healthy, delicious school meals for FREE! Healthy kids learn better, dream bigger, and build stronger futures—made possible by Universal School Meals and your advocacy.

In 2024, nearly two-thirds of students enjoyed free lunch at school. Thousands more kids are nourished, focused, and ready to thrive. Did you know that students receive 40–70 percent of their nutrition from school meals?

We’re grateful for the tireless work of school nutrition professionals and for everyone who supports feeding kids. Read about how we work with school nutrition professionals to craft culturally relevant school meals kids love: projectbread.org/news/school-me…
