Get the facts

Project Bread believes that facts and research can help to educate everyone about hunger in our state: whom it affects and to what extent. We also believe that measurement is important both to develop programs and to evaluate their effectiveness—measurement that help us to continually tune programs to achieve maximum impact. On this page we share with you a range of articles and reports that you can download.

For most of us, hunger is a fleeting need we can satisfy quickly. But hunger isn't fleeting for 11.4% of Massachusetts's households—the 700,000 children and adults who don't know where their next meal will come from. And this percentage is almost 40% higher than it was at the start of the last recession…and almost 80% higher than it was at the start of the previous decade. There is work to do!

We are a research-driven organization. Download these reports.
