Pioneer Valley Financial Group Partners with Rachel’s Table

LUDLOW — Pioneer Valley Financial Group (PV Financial) has partnered with Rachel’s Table of Western Massachusetts, donating $10,000 in support of the organization’s mission to alleviate hunger and reduce food waste throughout the region.

Rachel’s Table works to address food insecurity by rescuing surplus food and redistributing it to those in need, while also offering programs that educate and empower the community. Through food rescue, gleaning initiatives, gardening, and cooking education, the organization helps individuals and families build skills, resilience, and access to nutritious food.

“Support like this helps ensure our neighbors can grow food, build resilience, and nourish their communities for years to come,” said Jodi Falk, executive director of Rachel’s Table.

PV Financial is excited to be part of Rachel’s Table’s journey through both learning and hands-on volunteerism. The two organizations have already begun working closely together to identify meaningful ways to support the mission based on team members’ skills and interests. Early discussions have focused on the various locations Rachel’s Table serves and how PV Financial can best contribute to its ongoing efforts.

“Their story is so compelling, and they give back to the community in a truly unique way,” said Karen Nogueira, partner and director of Client Relations at PV Financial Group. “Both PV Financial Group and Rachel’s Table have come so far since their beginnings, and there really is no better feeling than doing good for those around us.”
