We recently launched a new food pantry program to support families during some of their most challenging moments.

After meeting with our caseworkers for housing or job search appointments, participants are invited to stop by our pantry table and pick up a few essentials for their families before they leave. For the past three weeks, this simple addition has made a meaningful difference. Families have expressed gratitude for being able to bring home basic staples when budgets are stretched thin.

The need, however, is growing quickly. Our pantry table is now nearly bare.

Would you consider lending a helping hand?

This week, as you do your grocery shopping, please consider picking up one or more of these much-needed items:

• Peanut butter
• Spaghetti sauce
• Pasta

Every donation, no matter the size, helps a family put food on the table.

Donations may be dropped off Monday through Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., at:

256 N. Pleasant Street
Amherst, MA 01002

Please include your name and contact information with your donation so we can personally thank you for your generosity and support.
