As the Covid-19 crisis is ongoing, some of the food pantries in Western Ma have elected to close, making it harder for needy families to find resources during the pandemic. In Franklin County, there are Emergency Food Services, a list of which can be found here, that may be able to help. Most programs will have adjusted times and procedures to comply with CDC social distancing guidelines. Most cities and towns in Franklin County have a Brown Bag: Food for Elders program available for Seniors only. Pre-registration for these programs is required. In addition, information regarding SNAP can be found here.
The city of Greenfield, in conjunction with Community Action, has posted a comprehensive list of food resources available across Franklin County. Access this list here.
