🍞 @projectbread.org’s food source hotline (1-800-645-8333) provided our community with a trusted voice and advocate as the shutdown sowed confusion.

While our lawsuits against the Admin played out, they made sure those impacted understood the state of SNAP and how to get access to food.

When Wendy Bongjoh, a member of Project Bread’s Council of Experts, joined our Rally for SNAP, she felt a sense of solidarity. "Let’s hold on to the hope we built at the rally and keep working together to fix the problems in our food system," she said. projectbread.org/news/nurturi...

🥕 Did you know you can access fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables through the Healthy Incentives Program (HIP)? If you receive SNAP benefits, you’re automatically enrolled—no extra steps needed! With HIP, you can bring home more nutritious options.

There is a solution to fully address the SNAP harm caused by H.R. 1. Tell Congress to support the Restoring Food Security for American Families and Farmers Act and #stopthatSNAPshift to states in FY26 appropriations. Act now: secure.everyaction.com/Wf7TjlCO3kue...

Last year, we laid out bold priorities for the FY26 state budget. Today, we’re proud to share our progress. From $180 million for School Meals for All to the full restoration of HIP, and investments to strengthen SNAP, MA is taking concrete steps to end hunger. projectbread.org/news/dc-cont...

A mother of two recently called Project Bread’s FoodSource Hotline, worried that she wouldn’t be able to afford food after her husband, the main provider, was deported. We were able to help her enroll in SNAP.

In MA, which has more than 1 million SNAP recipients, confirmed fraud cases are uncommon. Project Bread Chief Policy Officer Jennifer Lemmerman says, “Error rates measure mistakes in an overburdened, increasingly complex system. They don’t measure fraud.” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/24/m...
The Trump administration says SNAP is rife with fraud. Why their evidence doesn’t hold up. - The Boston Globe
A recent $7 million SNAP fraud case was an "anomaly," not an example of errors the Trump administration has highlighted.

When the phone rang at Project Bread, a mom of two from Scituate was on the line. She’s a hair stylist, but when business slowed, bills piled up. Everything she earned covered rent and her salon chair. Child support never arrived. She didn’t know how she’d afford groceries.

🚨 SNAP update: There is a lot of noise in the news, and we know there is a lot of fear about the future of SNAP benefits. December SNAP benefits in Massachusetts were administered as usual. There are no changes to how you receive or use your benefits at this time.

Vital organizations like @projectbread.org have stepped up time and time again this year. When Republicans cut SNAP funding, they responded. When Trump withheld food assistance during the shutdown, they filled the void.

They always show up for people in need, and I will always show up for them.
Amid the shutdown’s SNAP chaos, a Boston hunger hot line was inundated. More threats are on the horizon. - The Boston Globe
When over a million Massachusetts residents were in danger of losing their food stamps last month, more than 3,000 callers flooded Project Bread's hot line seeking help.

SNAP caseloads are up 42% from pre-pandemic levels, driven by rising food costs, economic pressure, and efforts to connect MassHealth families to nutrition help. SNAP is essential. When the system can’t keep up, vulnerable families feel it. www.masslive.com/politics/202...
Understaffed Mass. agency faces steep SNAP penalty risks
A new report has found that error rates in benefits could trigger large state penalties, and more workers are needed to improve eligibility accuracy.
