The following organizations received 502 grants from Project Bread through its Walk for Hunger and the Massachusetts Child Hunger Initiative (MCHI) during the 2008 – 2009 funding period. They include 474 emergency food programs, schools, after-school programs, summer food programs, health centers, and neighborhood organizations in 135 communities throughout the Commonwealth.

“It’s really the folks on the front line — all the pantry workers, all the volunteers — that actually get this done. The Hunger Commission started because we realized that volunteers and committed seniors and retirees ran a lot of the feeding programs. Without them, this work couldn’t get done.”

— William Shell, program director,
Hunger Commission of Southeastern Massachusetts

“In the past, these children were bombarded with sugar, snack foods, and fried foods. They were overweight and some were prediabetic. We set out to change the health and future of the young demographic. We include fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, homemade soups, sauces, whole grains, fresh ingredients, and a ‘eat smart, be smart’ approach.”

— Chef Kirk Conrad, speaking at Project Bread’s 2009 Appreciation and Grant Award Ceremony
