Greenfield Cooperative Bank Launches Food Drive

GREENFIELD — Greenfield Cooperative Bank is sponsoring a non-perishable food drive at its Northampton and Florence branches to benefit Rachel’s Table, while its two Greenfield offices are hosting a food drive to support Faith Church. The drives run now through the end of April, with donations supporting Rachel’s Table and Faith Church’s efforts to nourish and strengthen the community.

“Rachel’s Table does such vital work here in Western Massachusetts, making sure our community is well-nourished with healthy food options,” said Jenicca Gallagher, branch manager of the bank’s Northampton branch. “We’re thrilled to support their mission and help make it a little easier for them to continue feeding our neighbors.”

Requested items include protein bars, trail mix, bottled water, dried fruit, nuts, and Gatorade — foods that are nutritious, easy to store, and helpful for meal and outreach programs.

“We’re always looking for ways to give back,” said Cindy Gonzalez, branch manager of the bank’s Greenfield branch office located at 277 Federal St. “This food drive benefiting Faith Church is a simple way for us to come together and support members of our community.”
