Massachusetts Programs
The Food Pantry of Western Massachusetts
Since 1982, the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts has been feeding our neighbors in need and leading the community to end hunger. We provide food to our members in Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden and Hampshire counties. These independent pantries, meal sites and shelters are on the front lines of emergency food assistance in our region, providing sustenance to individuals, families, seniors, children and people with disabilities (including veterans) to lead healthy and meaningful lives.
GBFB is the largest hunger-relief organization in New England and among the largest food banks in the country. Last GBFB distributed 117 million pounds of nutritious food to people who struggle to have enough to eat. GBFB is committed to increasing our food distribution to provide three meals a day to every person in need in Eastern Massachusetts while supporting healthy lives and healthy communities.
