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 she called our FoodSource Hotline, she was overwhelmed and worried she wouldn’t be able to feed her kids. A Project Bread counselor listened and helped her apply for SNAP, step by step, so she wouldn’t have to do it on her own. Your gift helps us answer every call: projectbread.org/donate

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.

We don't expect systemwide disruptions to SNAP even if there is a government shutdown in early 2026. If you're eligible, we encourage you to apply for benefits. If you receive benefits, please continue using them as normal. Stay up to date and advocate: mailchi.mp/4c44ac6e9cc9...

🚨 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.

Saint Brendan School Kindergarteners decorated spoons and raised $220 for Project Bread! Teacher Mollie Oldham brought back this tradition from her own childhood. "I loved this project as a kid and now with my students," she said.

When the government shutdown disrupted November SNAP benefits, over a million MA residents were left confused and worried about how they’d feed themselves and their families. Project Bread’s FoodSource Hotline became a lifeline during that moment. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/11/m...

When families can’t get help navigating complex paperwork, eligible households lose benefits, disrupting food access and eroding trust in the systems designed to help them. Adequate staffing is essential to restore manageable workloads, improve accuracy, and protect families on SNAP.

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.
