A joint project of Most Holy Redeemer and First Congregational Church,the Hadley Food Pantry is housed at the Fr. Adrian Benoit Parish Center and operates Sundays from Noon to 1pm.

We provide non perishable food and  personal care items
(some Sundays near Holidays you'll see notices of Sunday closings).

You can help!

Our food comes from generous supporters of the food pantry project:

members of both churches,
area community groups and individuals,

..the Amherst Post Office Annual Food Collection
and other generous donors of both goods and financial gifts.

On a weekend we will serve anywhere from a low of 6-14 individuals/ families.

We are always looking for Individuals or 2 member teams to help our guests on Sundays. Would you like to be part of the team? Call Joan (413) 584-1901, or email: [email protected]
