Shout out to Project Bread!


Congratulations to Project Bread, who hosted its 40th Annual Walk For Hunger this past Sunday! With gas at $3.79 and milk at $4.29, rising food prices come to bear the hardest on the poor in the U.S. and around the world. Thanks to organization like Project Bread, there are brilliant and committed people who are trying to tackle this tough problem and provide relief to the people who need it most.

More than 40,000 people braved the rain and wind in Boston on Sunday and raised around $3.8 million to help alleviate hunger in Massachusetts. Special congrats to the Director of the Walk!

Consider making a "rainy day" donation to help hungry families. Project Bread is a great organization and I was involved in the Walk back in my Big Red days. I would've been there this year, if it hadn't been for those pesky final exams.
