The vast majority of US adults are stressed about grocery costs, new poll finds - The Boston Globe Other financial stressors — like the cost of housing or the amount of money in their bank accounts — are also broadly felt, but they weigh more heavily on younger Americans.

While half of ALL Americans say the cost of groceries is a “MAJOR” source of stress in their life right now, Congress passed legislation that will take food from millions of Americans in the single largest rollback of SNAP and other programs that are effective at alleviating hunger in the U.S.

‘We are going to feed the kids’: McGovern, wary of GOP cuts, highlights summer food program in Greenfield More than 100 families stopped by Greenfield High School Friday, picking up a lunch of hot dogs, fruit and milk along with some staples for the weekend.

Why Cuts to SNAP Put Families at Risk SNAP is a lifeline. Cuts to SNAP will prevent people from putting food on the table.

Janin Otero, Project Bread Council of Experts member, fed her family with SNAP. "There was about three months where I couldn't pay rent, I couldn't pay for anything, and the moment I went on my medical leave, I signed up for SNAP. And if that had not happened, I don't know what we would have done."

People with Lived Experience of Food Insecurity Join Project Bread, Rep Pressley and McGoverns to Shine Light on the Realities of Republican-Led Cuts to SNAP When SNAP and Medicaid were cut, Project Bread brought together Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Rep. Jim McGovern, and community voices to speak truth to power—and demand a future where no one in Massachusetts ...

🥗 "There’s been a lot of shame around hunger. But this isn’t a shame for you to carry, it’s a shame our nation should carry,” said Rep. Pressley.

Hunger affects 1 in 7 American households — and Trump's cuts to food support make it even harder for families, seniors, veterans and others to put food on the table.

In Massachusetts, @projectbread.org and our new Anti-Hunger Task Force won't turn our backs on neighbors in need.

After passage of Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill,’ some low-income workers ask: How will I support my family? - The Boston Globe Cuts to SNAP and Medicaid benefits could hurt low-income workers, while tax breaks will disproportionately benefit wealthy business owners, adding to the gap between rich and poor.

The wealth gap will grow with the deep cuts to SNAP and Medicaid, and workers worry about supporting their families and putting food on the table.

I held a timely listening session with @repmcgovern.bsky.social & @projectbread.org to hear from families directly impacted by Republicans' cruel cuts to food assistance and how we can support them going forward.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill will kick 17 million people off of health care & decimate the food budgets of regular, working people. Today I joined with @pressley.house.gov, @projectbread.org & other leaders to hear stories from people whose lives will be made more difficult by these awful Trump cuts.

@projectbread.org played a major part in getting universal free school lunch in Massachusetts, by lobbying as a food access organization. Parents are all exhausted. WE NEED THE VILLAGE to help get universal free school lunch passed.

The mega bill Congress passed last week will have devastating consequences in MA. With states shouldering 75% of administrative costs and 5-15% of benefit costs, MA could pay an additional $450 million per year to maintain SNAP. www.wwlp.com/news/massach...
