Feeding the Hungry
In Hampden County, over 50,000 people don't have enough to eat. Many families face difficult choices between buying food and meeting other basic needs. At United Way Pioneer Valley, we provide food pantry services as part of the Food Bank of Western MA, offering non-perishable, fresh, and frozen foods.
Our Springfield and Holyoke Cupboards are open weekly, providing food, toiletries, and other essential items to help our community. Beyond food security, we offer resource coordination through staff trained in Mobility Mentoring®️ by EmPath
