We gratefully acknowledge the unflagging support and inspired vision of our board of directors.

“Even as we face these difficult times let’s keep the faith and redouble our efforts. Hunger cannot take a backseat on our agenda. When one child goes hungry, it is our responsibility as human beings — not just lawmakers, not just activists — to make sure that we do everything we can do to help. That’s our cause, that’s our mission . . . that’s your mission.”

—   The Honorable Therese Murray,
president of the Massachusetts State Senate,
speaking at Project Bread’s 2009 Walk for Hunger Kickoff Breakfast

“You are the hope and the help that drives everybody every day behind the scenes to make sure that this annual rite of Spring continues with its luster, with its attractiveness, and with its ability to generate millions of dollars. It changes the lives of people we are never going to meet, but who are going to go to bed at night having had a hot meal. That’s the mission. . . . This is what Ellen and the staff tries to change.”

—   The Honorable Robert E. Travaglini, Project Bread Board Chair, shown here at the 2009 Annual Walk for Hunger
