SUMMARY:National Lasagna Day

Healey and Lieutenant Governor Kimberley Driscoll have formally commended Lasagna Love for its ongoing commitment to fostering nutritional security\, volunteerism\, and community connection across the Commonwealth. \nLasagna Love’s impact in Massachusetts is both powerful and far-reaching. Since its inception\, the organization’s volunteers have prepared and delivered nearly 41\,000 homemade lasagnas\, feeding more than 155\,000 neighbors\, including over 60\,000 children. \n“These numbers reflect the goodwill and charity of our state’s constituents\, and we are incredibly proud of the work and advocacy that has gone into achieving such an accomplishment\,” said Governor Healey. \n“We are honored by this recognition from Governor Healey and Lt. Governor Driscoll\,” said Andrea Scullin\, State Director for Massachusetts. “It’s a tribute to every volunteer who has rolled up their sleeves to cook\, deliver\, and connect with their communities.” \nAs National Lasagna Day approaches\, Lasagna Love invites everyone to celebrate the spirit of giving by volunteering\, donating\, or requesting a meal—because one lasagna can make a lasting difference. \nTo learn more\, visit https://www.lasagnalove.org. \nAbout Lasagna Love\nLasagna Love is a once viral grassroots neighbor to neighbor community impact program that has grown global in its first 5 years. The organization connects communities through gestures of kindness\, goodwill\, and support through feeding families in need. The nonprofit has joined together more than 80\,000 active volunteers from around the world and abides by three simple principles: feed families\, spread kindness\, and strengthen communities. Lasagna Love fosters a culture of positivity\, empathy\, zero-judgment\, and maintains a steadfast resolve to deliver comfort when needed most.
