South Community Food Pantry has been honored as the 2021 "Station of the Year" by RSVP (Retired Senior Volunteer Program) with 1660 RSVP volunteer hours logged in 2020!

The Food Pantry has grown from providing 12 bags of emergency groceries to serving over 500 households each week; consisting of volunteer delivery to 270 households, and at least another 250 drive-through and walk-through pick-ups weekly. South Community Food Pantry is the largest pantry program in the Berkshires, receiving food from the Western MA Food Bank, as well as local farmers and grocers.

RSVP volunteers comprise roughly half of the approximately 100 volunteers at the pantry!
