Food Bank of Western Massachusetts

Food Bank of Western Massachusetts is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing healthy food for the community. It sources nutrition from various providers, including state programs like MEFAP and federal initiatives like TEFAP, as well as local farms, retail and wholesale food businesses, community organizations, and individual donors. Founded in 1982, the organization focuses on ensuring access to nutritious food for those in need. Their programs, such as the Mobile Food Bank and Brown Bag: Food for Elders, play a crucial role in distributing the processed food directly to the individuals in need. The organization recently received a $5.00K grant investment from Florence Bank on 16 May 2024. This investment will further support the organization's mission to address food insecurity in the Western Massachusetts region.
