Springfield, MA — Monson Savings Bank donated $5,000 to the Martin Luther King Jr. Family Services Food Pantry through the Bank’s Together for Food Security campaign. The contribution will help sustain this community-based support for households throughout Hampden County.
The pantry provides emergency food services for individuals and families experiencing food shortages. Rather than receiving a prepacked bag of food, shoppers can bring their own bags and choose from available meats, dairy products, bakery goods, fruits, vegetables, and shelf-stable items. The organization also partners with the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts to host mobile food truck distributions.
Currently the Pantry operates from the 3 Rutland Street (Community Center) site in Springfield, Massachusetts in the Mason Square Neighborhood with designated pantry and mobile food truck hours found on the Martin Luther King Jr. Family Services website www.mlkjrfamilyservices.org/families/.
