Behind the Boxes: A Day at the Food Bank Warehouse
In a world where far too many individuals go without access to healthy food, a group of compassionate individuals came together to make a difference. We want to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Karen, Catie, Allison, Donna, Jacob, Jimmy, Zac, John, Elise, and Katrina for their incredible participation in the food sorting community service initiative on Friday, July 25th at the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts’ Warehouse.
The team collaboratively sorted, organized, and packaged over 3,500 pounds of bread which was distributed to various food pantries and organizations in the surrounding community. Together, we end hunger with the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts.
