With looming federal cuts from the Trump administration and a rising cost of living crisis, the services provided by Department of Transitional Assistance workers are as important as ever. Communities across Massachusetts deserve access to resources to support them in some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives.

Together, we can help protect our members’ livelihoods and ensure ongoing support for families struggling with food insecurity.
