WHAT Paint colorful, 4-foot signs for

seven and older who can paint neatly and

Project Bread is the nonprofit organization that

funds to support 400+ emergency feeding
programs in 135 communities Massachusetts, a
Hunger Hotline, food drives, and shaping public

This will be PMD's fifteenth year assisting with
this unique project that offers wonderful
opportunities to express your artistic side,
and exhibit your work (anonymously) to thousands!
PMD policy requires that all volunteers
participate for the entire project time span
to which they commit in advance, in order
to enable us to finish all the signs needed,
clean up the project site, gather and clean
our tools and materials, and enable all
volunteers to leave on time.
This project will be led by PMD volunteer
project managers Michele M. and Mary R.
