No one should go hungry. Please donate, and join me in fighting hunger in our state and country.
I am so grateful that I have never experienced hunger. It pains me (and I am sure it pains you too) to think of anyone, especially children going hungry. Mark and I have been supporters of the Greater Boston Food bank for many many years and now we also support World Central Kitchen. I am so happy to be joining this knit a thon for food, and using my skills as a knitter to bring awareness and much need money to support hunger in America.
In Massachusetts alone, according to a study by the Greater Boston Food Bank
- 34% of state households report food insecurity, reveals stark racial disparities; eight out of 10 receiving SNAP benefits still seek additional food assistance
- Food-insecure families report needing average of only $60 more per week to achieve food security
- 1 in 3 households with children in Massachusetts report child-level food insecurity meaning a child went hungry, skipped a meal or didn’t eat for an entire day because there wasn’t enough money for food in 2023.
Thank you, in advance for your donation!
