Resources The Food Bank is part of a national network of resources to feed those in need. These resouces can help you find help for yourself, your family, or those in your care. Counselors at Project Bread's FoodSource Hotline refer callers to food resources in their communities and provide information on public programs, meal sites for the elderly, Meals on Wheels programs, salvage food distribution sites, and other programs that supply free or low-cost food. Call 800-645-8333 (TTY: 800-377-1292). The Massachusetts Department of Transitional Assistance is the state agency responsible for administering public assistance programs for those in need in the Commonwealth. The Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless works to address the broad economic and social issues that lead to homelessness. The Citizens Energy Oil Heat Program has delivered millions of gallons of low-cost home heating oil to thousands of poor and elderly households around Massachusetts. To apply, call toll free 1-877-JOE-4-OIL (1-877-563-4645). The Women, Infants and Children (W.I.C.) supplemental nutrition program is a health, nutrition, and prevention program in which program participants receive checks for nutritious foods. The Boston Resource Network offers access to information about the myriad of human services available in Boston. Food stamps can help you buy food. Find out if you qualify and learn how to apply.
