My mission is to spread awareness of food insecurity in Massachusetts by showcasing often unknown resources. I want to highlight the difference between the effectiveness of food assistance resources and the need for affordable, healthy food access. Through this website I have created, I hope to assist households throughout Massachusetts overcome hunger and be able to apply for food assistance regardless of their immigration status, income, or employment. All people are worthy and deserve access to healthy foods.
As an eighth grader, I wrote this essay for my capstone project. This essay talks about the statistics and information on having access to healthy foods in Massachusetts.
Below are places I visited and volunteered at as a way to give back to my community.
