Our Community Food Pantry was recently notified by its largest food supplier, the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts, that the U.S. Department of Agriculture had cancelled $440,000 worth of overall food deliveries for the four counties and 132,000 people it serves, including the pantry.

The Our Community Food Pantry in Westfield is facing challenges due to a significant reduction in federal food aid, which has decreased from 400,000 pounds to 100,000 pounds monthly.

Volunteers and staff are concerned about the sustainability of their operations and are calling for increased community support to help maintain their services.
