Join us in alleviating hunger across Franklin County!
Your donation greatly supports your community and neighbors through these insecure times
We are excited to be back in action to help our community rise above food insecurity challenges! Every year we serve more than 23,000 hot meals to neighbors in need and support over 7% of the population in Franklin County and the North Quabbin Area with our Orange Food Pantry. Our refrigerated van helps us distribute over 250,000 lbs of donated food and also serves to support local partners in their food insecurity efforts.
As our 40th year passes, we are looking forward to making concrete moves in our communities to establish greater services and modes of support. We believe in knowledge as a form of resilience and we anticipate Community Garden Bed projects, supplementary feeding programs for students and their families, nutrition and opioid education and the evolution of a strong community center based around these projects. In the short term, we are expecting to open another Community Meal Site in Shelburne Falls, MA and possible second location in Greenfield, MA.
Join us as we grow to support the needs of our community, we can't do it without our neighbors!
