“Rox Box,” a food pantry for students and staff at Roxbury Community College, opened this month to address #foodinsecurity on campus.

We are honored to have been one of two organizations to provide grants to put this #foodpantry into action.

Among the largest 75 public companies in MA, only 6 CEOs are women — a mere 8%.

If we hope to break that final glass ceiling, it is imperative that boards widen the lens of what leadership looks like.

@AndreaSilbert discusses our new research report in her @GlobeOpinion op-ed.

[Boston Globe Opinion @GlobeOpinion]

At a time when women in Massachusetts are making significant inroads into positions of power in the political sphere, a perplexing obstacle to gender equity in the corporate arena remains a stubborn glass ceiling at the top, writes @AndreaSilbert.

Excited to be here to celebrate @EosFoundation’s latest report. As @AndreaSilbert points out there are still MANY invisible walls and opportunity gaps. @YWBoston #wen #pob

A new push is underway to keep meals served at MA public schools free permanently. "You can have the best teacher in the world, a really great textbook, (....) if they are hungry they are not learning," said @ErinMcAleer1, president & CEO of @projectbread

Free meal programs in schools and other food delivery initiatives have played a huge role in the battle to end childhood hunger in the state, offering children healthy meal options and opportunities that they may not receive at home. #childhunger #foodinsecurity #massachusetts

More than 100,000 MA children are food insecure and are facing the threat of hunger daily. The ongoing effects of the pandemic aggravate these numbers, but there are now some remedies within schools with the help of volunteer and nonprofit organizations.

A recent “necessities drive” has helped restock a food pantry at Oak Middle School in Shrewsbury, helping this school program distribute new essentials to families after otherwise being empty since the summer.

Supply-chain issues, inflation & job loss during the pandemic have put many families' #foodsecurity at risk.

In MA, #foodinsecurity remains 30% higher than pre-pandemic levels. 1 in 10 households is food insecure, 1 in 9 for households with children.

Every December the @Gr8BosFoodBank has held the #Hunger Free Holidays campaign. The program works to raise funds that will help GBFB reach individuals & families facing #foodinsecurity not only during the winter season, but throughout the following year.

The Cape Cod Community College food pantry has had 371 visits so far this year, up 299% over the last calendar year.

Anyone with a 4Cs college ID, students or staff, is able to receive a bag of shelf-stable groceries, as well as personal care products.

Only 20% of eligible MA college students use SNAP benefits to buy food.

The Massachusetts Hunger Free Campus Coalition is working to raise that percentage and address the glaring issue of #foodinsecurity on college campuses.

A community nonprofit has purchased and installed several Automated Refrigerated Food Lockers around Beverly, Essex, Hamilton, Manchester and Wenham that allow residents to place an order online and then pick it up when it is easiest for them.

The Division of Fisheries and Wildlife this fall has launched a program that allows hunters to donate wild game meat, specifically venison, to other #Massachusetts residents in need.

Through the program, hunters can donate a whole deer. #foodinsecurity
