New this year- the March for the Food Bank goes to Berkshire County!
16 years ago, Monte Belmonte pushed an empty shopping cart from Northampton to Greenfield with the goal of raising $5,000 for the Food Bank. He rallied the community to raise $13,000 that year, and started a movement that became the annual
March for the Food Bank.
This year the annual March embarks on its 43-mile journey from Springfield to Greenfield on Monday, November 24th and Tuesday, November 25th. We are thrilled to also include a 3-mile Berkshire Mini-March in Pittsfield on Saturday, November 22nd, after which marchers can volunteer at Pittsfield Community Pantry preparing bags of food for Thanksgiving Angels.
