Neighbors Helping Neighbors
As you may know, hunger has affected many of our neighbors. We have double the number of households we have served in this past year. With the depressed housing market and economy, many of our senior citizens, individuals, and families are struggling to make ends meet. When emergencies arise, they are often forced to choose between buying food or paying for utilities, medicine, or even housing. Our program is a supplemental program for those in need.
Volunteers are vital to our success. Neighbors helping neighbors is what makes this program successful. If you are interested in volunteering, please call us at 413-245-0055 and ask for the Pantry Manager. Click here to visit the volunteer page for volunteer job descriptions.
