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👇

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

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…
Kids can start their day right with a delicious and nutritious school breakfast! Their stomachs will thank you for choosing a meal that’s always fresh, filling, and completely FREE for all students. Learn more at projectbread.org/schoolmeals.

Creators, causes, and connections in every direction. ✨
Last week, we brought together Boston's mission-driven creators and the nonprofit leaders we're proud to represent for The Changemaker Soirée. We are still feeling inspired.
On a sunny October afternoon, Project Bread joined food security advocates from across the state on the steps of the Massachusetts State House to fight for access to SNAP.
Federal cuts and an understaffed DTA have left thousands without help—77% of calls go unanswered, and 190,000 people have lost benefits in the past year. Call on the legislature to protect SNAP access at projectbread.org/act
