What if I know of someone in need of help?
Project Bread-The Walk for Hunger, one of the Can Share sponsors, operates the FoodSource Hotline which can be reached toll free at 1-800-645-8333 (TTY Line: 1-800-377-1292).
Project Bread's toll-free FoodSource Hotline responds to more than 30,000 calls a year from people across the state struggling to feed their families. FoodSource Hotline counselors refer callers to food resources in their communities. Hotline counselors also provide callers with appropriate information on public programs including Food Stamps, meal sites for the elderly, meals on wheels programs, salvage food distribution sites and other programs that supply free or low-cost food.
Project Bread's FoodSource Hotline now has the ability to help hungry families in 140 languages -- from Arabic to Cambodian, Russian to Vietnamese. Project Bread provides a special service that links callers with a translator, usually within 30 seconds. Project Bread's FoodSource Hotline has also installed a TTY line to serve deaf callers. Both of these services are available statewide.
