The Gratitude Project is United Way’s inclusive, community-centered invitation for our partners—donors, corporate partners, policy makers, community members—to increase resource accessibility in some of our most vulnerable communities. More than 1 in 5 Massachusetts families with children experiences food insecurity. For 25 years, United Way of Massachusetts Bay’s Gratitude Project has supported families who must choose between putting food on their tables or paying their bills. The Gratitude Project includes donation drives for essential supplies, fundraisers, and volunteer opportunities throughout the year, because need knows no season.
