Help keep food on our shelves so we can continue to nourish our neighbors.
Join Us in Nourishing Our Neighbors
South Community Food Pantry is the largest food pantry in Berkshire County, MA, and the only pantry that offers weekly home deliveries to the elderly, disabled, and those without access to transportation. Our volunteers currently deliver to more than 500 households each week — a number that keeps rising.
With the tremendous increase in food insecurity in our community and the rising cost of the nutritious food that we provide, we need support more than ever to continue this vital work. The Food Pantry has secured several generous grants for facility and equipment improvements. However, few grants actually allow for the purchase of food to stock our shelves.
Our pantry is a 100% volunteer organization. Every dollar donated is used to purchase food to provide comfort and security to our neighbors. We are inspired by the many ways that diverse people and organizations regularly come together to support our pantry and our mission. Join us in nourishing our neighbors.
Monetary Donations
We graciously accept donations online, by mail, or in person.
If paying by check or cash, please note if you would like to designate this donation for a specific cause or fund, and if the donation is in honor or memory of someone. If you are looking to donate to the Thanksgiving Angels, please visit the Thanksgiving Angels website.
Something to consider… We can purchase cases of food for much less than it costs to purchase individual cans or boxes. Because of this, monetary donations allow us to feed more people. Of course, every donation is appreciated.
