Together We Can End Hunger and Improve Health
Millions of Americans struggle with hunger. Millions more struggle with diet-related diseases—like heart disease and diabetes, some of the leading causes of death and disability in the United States. While the effects of hunger impact many Americans, that toll disproportionately impacts underserved communities, communities of color, low-income families and rural Americans.

Work in Action
In March 2023, Mass General Brigham opened the Revere Food Pantry. This new food pantry was not only to supply food to those in need, but also a teaching kitchen designed to serve as an educational opportunity for both adults and children. Here, they are learning the importance of preparing nutritious and delicious meals with ingredients readily available at the pantry.
