Project Bread, the leading statewide food security organization in Massachusetts, is seeking volunteers to assist with the 57 th annual Walk for Hunger. Volunteers will help with registration, check-in, and logistics during the event.

The one-day community fundraiser for hunger relief is set for Sunday, May 4 on the Boston Common and will feature family-friendly activities, food and entertainment. The Walk for Hunger brings together thousands of community members annually to support the nonprofit’s approach to ensure food access for all children and families in Massachusetts.

Volunteers will be assigned to various stations around the scenic 3-mile loop on Boston Common with a Project Bread staff member as their contact. Advance training sessions will be provided on Tuesday, April 29 and Wednesday, April 30.

Volunteers between the ages of 10 and 16 should be accompanied by an adult. Children ages 10 and under are not permitted to volunteer. Groups are welcome. Each volunteer should register individually and indicate their volunteer group.

Responsibilities Include:

  • Check In & Registration of Walk attendees
  • Handing out materials such as food, water, informational resources and event swag
  • Assisting at photo and video booths
  • Cheering on Walkers along the route
  • And more!

Volunteers should plan to be onsite from 6:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 4. Breakfast, water and snacks will be provided, and each volunteer will have a 30-minute break allotted to them at their station.

Mission Statement

Project Bread's mission is to offer a fresh approach to ending hunger. We aim to alleviate, prevent, and ultimately end hunger in Massachusetts through innovative programs.

Description

Project Bread is the voice of hungry people in Massachusetts. It is volunteers, Walkers, and donors that commit to helping year after year. It is city and school officials that help children eat nutritious meals in schools and in the summer. It is local anti-hunger networks that work together to help their communities. It is the state officials and community members that advocate for change. It is the emergency food providers that feed our hungry neighbors each day.

Project Bread funds 400 food pantries, soup kitchens, and food banks all over Massachusetts. We run the only statewide hunger hotline that answers 35,000 calls a year from families in need. We work with schools to offer breakfast programs, and fund summer programs so that kids get a nutritious meal when school's out. The first Sunday in May each year, we run the oldest continual pledge walk in the country, The Walk for Hunger.
