Jarred Gould
Project Bread’s Jarred Gould of Charlestown helped prepare healthy meals at the Pine Street Inn, a Boston-based homeless shelter and one of 430 community organizations funded by The Walk for Hunger. “The time spent in the kitchen allowed me to see the front-line perspective of hunger,” explained Jarred, one of the 13 campaign associates who helps organize the community of 40,000 Walkers. “It gave me a hands-on understanding of what it takes to feed so many people.” Project Bread is committed to providing people of all ages, cultures, and walks of life with reliable access to nutritious food—because the opposite of hungry is not simply full, but healthy. Registration is now open for the 45th Walk for Hunger on Sunday, May 5th. For details, go to www.projectbread.org/Walk.
