Support Your Local Food Pantries

Please consider supporting your local food pantries this season. Monetary donations are always helpful, but food donations are appreciated as well. The Food Bank of Western Mass is a wonderful organization that already supports most local pantries. A donation to the food bank is a great idea. But you can also donate directly to your local food pantry! Here are some:

The Center for Self-Reliance

Main St. in Greenfield and Maple St. in Shelburne Falls

The Franklin Area Survival Center

4th St. in Turners Falls

Northfield Regional Food Pantry

155 Main St, downstairs in the library
