Food Bank of Western Massachusetts, Inc.

The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts is the umbrella organization for the emergency food network in our region to feed monthly an average of over115,000 people at risk of hunger. During our last fiscal year 2023, we distributed 13.3 million pounds of healthy food -- enough for about 11 million meals to nourish families, children, elders, and adults. • Food distribution through +190 local food assistance sites -- food pantries, meal sites, shelters • More than half of annual distribution is perishable food items -- fresh produce, dairy and frozen meats • Of the more than 3 million lbs. of fresh vegetables, about one-third comes from local farms, including two Food Bank Farms

The mission of The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts is to feed our neighbors in need and lead the community to end hunger.
