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
