From 2018, through June 2023, the mass food trust program has:

  • Funded 81 healthy food initiatives across 10 counties in Massachusetts (100% of the projects accept or will accept SNAP & WIC)

  • Helped business owners hire and maintain employment for 1,150 employees, 93% of whom are from the local community

  • Expanded access to healthy, affordable food for 692,000 individuals

The Massachusetts Food Trust has worked with businesses and projects that increase access to healthy food and support local farmers across the Commonwealth. Because MFTP is a revolving loan fund, the loan capital these projects repay is reinvested in new projects. Please click here for a map of the MFTP clients!
