Community First. MBK volunteers at The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts

Jul 24, 2020

Since 1982, The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts has been feeding our neighbors in need and leading the community to end hunger. They distribute food to our members in Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden and Hampshire counties.

COVID-19 has presented an even higher demand for food and services. MBK team leader, Chelsea Cox, organized a group of professionals from MBK to assist the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts. They helped with sorting, organizing, and packaging food to be distributed to the various food panties this organization serves.  Congratulations to Chris Soderberg, Mallory Beauregard, Donna Roundy, Ian Coddington, Brittany Bird, and Chelsea Cox for sorting 3,640 lbs of food and helping to organize 3,033 meals. You lead by example and demonstrate the importance of investing in our local communities.
