This month’s featured non-profit is the Western Mass Foodbank.
Since 1982, The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts has been striving to prevent and alleviate hunger in Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden, and Hampshire Counties in western Massachusetts. In our region, approximately one in every ten people suffers from chronic food shortages or needs emergency food assistance. As a food bank, they respond to immediate and emergency hunger through their core food distribution programs. The Food Bank partners with more than 400 local food pantries, meal sites, shelters, residential programs, and youth and elder care centers to bring at 7.6 million pounds of food to more than 108,000 people facing hunger across the diverse urban and rural communities in Western Massachusetts each year.
