Each November, Monte Belmonte of New England Public Media leads a march against hunger through the Pioneer Valley for 43 miles from Springfield to Greenfield. Monte is joined by Congressman Jim McGovern, Food Bank Executive Director Andrew Morehouse, and a large group of supporters as they raise funds to help provide healthy meals to neighbors at risk of hunger in Western Massachusetts.

There are many opportunities to support financially the Food Bank’s programs and direct-to-neighbor services throughout the year. These programs include:

Mobile Food Bank
Our trucks deliver free, primarily fresh vegetables and groceries to dozens of sites across the four counties of Western Massachusetts for immediate distribution to vulnerable residents.

Brown Bag: Food for Elders
We provide a free bag of healthy groceries to income-eligible seniors once a month at 51 local senior centers and community organizations.

Nutrition
Our Nutrition staff provides healthy eating workshops, grocery store tours, and recipe taste testings using nutritious, low-cost food.

Member Food Pantry Capacity Building
We work with our members — front line local food pantries and meal sites — to provide training opportunities on vital topics such as volunteer management, advocacy, client intake, disaster planning, food safety, nutrition and food sourcing. We also provide mini-grants for freezers, refrigerators, shelving and other items to strengthen their capacity to distribute more healthy food to more people.

• Volunteer your time: Gather co-workers together to sort food in our warehouse or help at a special event.
• Volunteer your skills: Bring your unique skills to the table for a special project, including marketing, event planning, operations, strategic planning, facility management, etc.

A round up fundraising campaign involves allowing customers to round their total up to the nearest dollar and then donating that money to the Food Bank. For example, if a guest’s total came to $23.58 and they chose to round up for your cause, $0.42 would be put toward a donation.

These campaigns have been highly successful with businesses like Guido’s Fresh Marketplace who kindly raised over $32,000 last summer to help the Food Bank provide healthy meals for neighbors in need in Western Massachusetts.
