1 in 10 households and 1 in 8 children here in MA do not
have enough food to eat. This has long term implications for the health and
future of our communities. Project Bread is a statewide anti-hunger nonprofit
working to end hunger throughout the state. Project Bread meets people where
they are – in community health centers, schools, summer programs, libraries and
housing authorities, to increase access to affordable healthy food. Their 51st Annual
Walk for Hunger on Sunday May 5th on Boston Common benefits hundreds of community
hunger-relief program in MA.
A PVP South Street mom of two, Liz Greenhalgh oversees this
event that brings together elected officials, businesses and more than 10,000

unacceptable in Massachusetts. We have offered to help out by raising awareness
