Greenfield Cooperative Bank Launches Food Drive to Benefit Two Nonprofits

GREENFIELD — Greenfield Cooperative Bank is partnering with Rachel’s Table and the Northfield Regional Food Pantry for nonperishable food drives. Its Greenfield, Shelburne Falls, and Turners Falls branches will be collecting to benefit Rachel’s Table, a local organization alleviating hunger and reducing the waste of food resources in Western Mass., while its Northfield branch will be supporting Northfield Regional Food Pantry. The drives run through the month of May.

Requested nonperishable items include canned meats and fish, rice, peanut butter, infant formula, pasta, cooking oils, shelf-stable dairy, cereal, and dried fruit.

“Rachel’s Table is an organization that effectively responds to gaps in the food supply chain by getting fresh food to those most in need,” said Harlin Glovacki, branch manager of the Shelburne Falls branch. “We’re proud to support an organization that plays such a central role in food security throughout the region.”

All are invited to stop by during business hours to drop off items. For those who prefer to give financially, monetary donations can be made at feedwma.org/give-funds.
