Page 6 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2025 Bread of Life calls on public to join together in ending hunger M ALDEN — September is Hunger Action Month, a nationwide campaign led by Feeding America, and The Greater Boston Food Bank is encouraging everyone to take action to end hunger. During the month-long campaign, Bread of Life will be raising awareness and inspiring action in Malden and surrounding communities. Every action counts, whether it’s donating, advocating, volunteering or spreading the word online. “Hunger is not an emergency; unfortunately, it’s a daily lived reality for far too many people in our state with a profound impact on our health and well-being,” says Catherine D’Amato, president and CEO of The Greater Boston Food Bank. “With decreases in hunger-relief programs coming from the federal government, now more than ever If We Happen To Meet By Accident ...

RENTAL CARS Available we ask for continued support from our donors, volunteers, and government offi cials, to help fuel our mission to end hunger here in Eastern Massachusetts.” According to The Greater Boston Food Bank’s annual statewide study on food insecurity, conducted in collaboration with Mass General Brigham, 1 in 3 Massachusetts adults experienced food insecurity in 2024. Bread of Life is providing food every month for about 9,000 individuals from Malden, Everett and surrounding communities. “As many more of our neighbors will struggle with the coming decreases in federal help, the burden of assisting them will fall heavily on the private sector, on nonprofi ts like BOL, on individuals, churches and other faith communities, businesses and civic organizations,” says Gabriella Snyder Stelmack, Executive Director of Bread of Life. “We are counting on our community, which has always been rock-solid, to help us meet the challenge through food donations, fi nancial support, volunteer efforts and advocacy!” Together, we have the power to end hunger.

RTV Youth Correspondent Manique Khessouane attended the event to hear from some seniors and take the RTV audience around to see the fun to be had at these parties. These events are open for all Revere senior citizens. These events include food, but also entertainment, which was by DJ Wendy and Frank Ferrera. Manique interviewed Mayor Patrick Keefe, Director of Elder Services Deb Peczka and many attendees. Watch this report before the full recording of the Senior Center Luau Party every weekday on the Community Channel for the next month. Manique, a longtime RTV Community Member and volunteer, was inspired by the Keep Massachusetts Beautiful nonprofi t group and created her own clean up event for Revere Beach. She produced a video about her and her friends’ efforts to clean the beach that is now playing on RevereTV. Watch her video on the Community Channel to learn about their initiative, why they care about the cleanliness of the beach and why they want to make a difference where they live. Manique has volunteered much of her time hosting videos for the RevereTV studio and did a fantastic job putting this short video together herself.

You can fi nd this new restaurant and lounge at 63 Revere Beach Blvd. The owners of Lumina also established La Cantina on Broadway last year and have opened this lounge to off er a diff erent kind of social experience — that they say Revere has been missing. Watch the ceremony, which includes commentary from Mayor Keefe, on YouTube or at various times daily on the Community Channel.
