South Community Food Pantry is the largest food pantry in Berkshire County, providing free food and hot meals to over 1,000 families each week — a number that grows weekly.
It is the only local pantry that offers home delivery to the elderly, disabled, and those without access to transportation, and it is 100% run by volunteers.
South Community Food Pantry is holding an "Empty Bowls" fundraising event to offset the tremendous increase in food insecurity in our community and the rising cost of food. Many kind, talented people and organizations are joining together to create this SECOND ANNUAL fundraising event!
