Join Tisch College for a Civic Life Lunch featuring Vice President of Engagement Catalina Lopez-Ospina and Director of Community Partnerships, Adriana Mendes-Sheldon from Project Bread, a leading nonprofit working to end hunger in Massachusetts. Together, they’ll discuss the multifaceted challenges of food insecurity, its intersections with health and equity, and innovative approaches to creating systemic change.

This conversation will spotlight Project Bread’s advocacy for accessible food resources and their commitment to supporting community-based organizations by providing platforms and resources to ensure the anti-hunger community in Massachusetts stays connected, informed, and equipped with the latest knowledge. Additionally, Project Bread will share how they are centering their work—across policy, communication, and programming—around the voices of people with lived experiences, working collaboratively to shape a vision for solving food insecurity in Massachusetts with and for those most affected. Lunch will be provided.
