A joint project of Most Holy Redeemer and First Congregational Church,the Hadley Food Pantry is housed at the Fr. Adrian Benoit Parish Hall and operates Sundays from Noon to 1pm
(some Sundays near Thanksgiving and Christmas 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 annual Hadley Elementary Thanksgiving Food Drive,
the Amherst Post Office Annual Food Collection
and generous donors of both food items and financial gifts.
On a weekend we will serve anywhere from a low of 8 families to a high of nearly 20 families.
We are always looking for 2 member teams to help our guests on Sundays. Current teams include husbands and wives, parents and teens and individuals.
Would you like to be part of the team? Call Joan (413) 584-1901
