Dear Friend,
The numbers are in, and hunger in Massachusetts has grown. Read our 2010 Status Report on Hunger, and find out fun ways you can help us end hunger in Massachusetts:
Project Bread’s 2010 Status Report on Hunger Released
We just released the state's annual report card on hunger: Project Bread's Status Report on Hunger in Massachusetts. Project Bread produces this report each year to show the prevalence of hunger and to share successful strategies to feed hungry people.
This report shows that our work together is more critical than ever — over 615,000 individuals in Massachusetts are struggling to put food on the table, and that includes children. In low-income communities, families with children experience hunger at three times the rate of the rest of the state. Children are at the greatest risk of poor health outcomes from hunger. |
