For over 20 years, Project Bread has worked in partnership with the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to provide youth with access to Summer Eats across the state.

Last summer, there were 1,100 Summer Eats sites across Massachusetts, 48 of which were new. More than 57,000 kids and teens were fed each day at these sites, which equated to serving 2 million meals.
