In response to the ongoing government shutdown, we’ve added new Mobile Food Bank dates in November. We’ve also created a single calendar showing every location, date, and time for the month in all four counties in Western Massachusetts. (New dates are marked with asterisks.) We’ve seen incredible support online as people share our Mobile Food Bank distribution schedule and we thank you! 💚

We encourage you to share this post as it might help someone you know. And a huge thank you to our Mobile Food Bank volunteers whose extra time and effort made these additional dates possible!

For a full list of Mobile Food Bank Distributors, use: https://www.foodbankwma.org/get-help/mobile-food-bank/

Remember: everyone is welcome to visit a Mobile Food Bank and get free groceries regardless of other services you might receive. We have an automated phone line to check if a Mobile Food Bank or Brown Bag is canceled due to weather, the number is: (413)-419-0079.

The Northampton Harm Reduction site has officially joined the Western Mass Food Bank. This project took the NSAP team a year to complete through the application process, inspection, and Servsafe certificate. Site Manager Katy applied for a grant with the Western Mass Food Bank to get the food cabinet and fridge. Now, Harm Reduction participants are able to come once a week and grab food if they need.

Did you know CONNECT Partners with local food pantries to bring our Mobile Outreach services to folks in Ashfield, Charlemont, and soon Athol and Orange (including those supported by the efforts of the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts)? The vital services they provide support those in our community, including many children, so they stay nourished in mind, body, and spirit. These organizations offer a space for community connection to take place as well as a convenient access to other services such as vaccinations, basic health checks, and recovery, harm reduction, and basic needs resources like we provide through our CONNECT Mobile Outreach Program. They are here for you and your family in your time of need as we navigate the politicizing of hunger and health. Stay safe and fed out there folks and reach out any time if you need any assistance accessing these crucial services. We are here for you.
