Rachel’s Table Announces Bountiful Bowls 2025

SPRINGFIELD — Rachel’s Table of Western Massachusetts announced its biennial signature event, Bountiful Bowls: Growing Community Together, taking place on Tuesday, June 10 at 5:30 p.m. at the Springfield Marriott Hotel.

This powerful evening will honor the resilience and generosity of the local community in the fight against food insecurity. Hosted by Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno (honorary chair) and emcee Barry Kriger, the event will spotlight the transformative work of Rachel’s Table and celebrate leaders who have made a profound impact in Western Mass.

Honorees include Ellen Gold, Change Agent Award; Jill and Jim Stewart, Community Connectors Award; and the employees and community of Westfield Bank, Leading with Community: Newcomer Award.

Rachel’s Table continues to combat food insecurity across Hampden, Hampshire, and Franklin counties. In 2024 alone, the organization delivered more than 925,000 pounds of healthy food; sponsored 57 gleans, harvesting more than 50,000 pounds of fresh produce from local farms; and supported 10 community gardens led by youth and seniors.

With hunger affecting nearly half of households in Hampden County and over one-third in neighboring counties, Bountiful Bowls raises critical funds and awareness for Rachel’s Table’s programs that deliver immediate relief and build long-term food security.
