End Hunger Once And For All.

Imagine a Massachusetts where no family goes hungry, where every child has access to nourishing food, and where hunger is a thing of the past. That's the vision behind Make Hunger History, a bold statewide initiative to make Massachusetts the first state in the nation to permanently end hunger.

Our Mission

What are we trying to achieve?

Our goal is to end hunger for all 6.9 million Massachusetts residents. Our aim is not just to provide short-term relief but to fundamentally transform the landscape, eradicating hunger through policy change, community engagement, and collective action. 

We will be successful in our mission when: All Massachusetts residents have dignified access to food and the economic resources needed to make choices about their food.

We envision a future where every resident has equitable access to nutritious food, laying the foundation for a healthier, more prosperous Commonwealth.

Our administration is proud to lend its support to the Make Hunger History Coalition in their efforts to eradicate hunger in Massachusetts. Too many families and children are suffering from food insecurity, and it's going to take all of us working together to close those gaps."

About Our Coalition

This work is powered by a coalition of more than 700 nonprofits, businesses, legislators, advocates, and people with lived experience of hunger who are united around one shared goal: creating lasting solutions to food insecurity.

Together, we're advancing policies, building partnerships, and driving systems change that make healthy, affordable food accessible to every resident. 

Ending hunger requires collaboration across every sector. By bringing together organizations, policymakers, businesses, and community members, Make Hunger History is building the movement—and the momentum—to create a more equitable, hunger-free Commonwealth.

Ending hunger is both a moral and economic imperative. We can end hunger if we can galvanize the will of society and the power of public-private partnerships to carry it out. A Massachusetts plan to end hunger is the road map to achieve it."
