$13,000 in Emergency Food Program Grants Awarded to Local Food Pantries - November 29, 2007
Boston- State Representative Denis E. Guyer (D- Dalton) and State Representative Smitty Pignatelli (D-Lenox) announced today that three local organizations received Emergency Food Program Grants from Project Bread.
The local recipients include the Berkshire Community Action Council in Pittsfield, which was awarded $4,000, the Salvation Army in Pittsfield receiving $3,000 and the Hilltown Churches Food Pantry will get $6,000.
Representative Guyer commented on the awards saying, “This funding comes at a time when more people are relying on food pantries to feed themselves and their families. I’m glad to see that these local organizations will get a little extra support to help more people.”
400 Food Pantries in 126 communities throughout Massachusetts received funding though this program. All of the money distributed comes directly from the proceeds from the annual Walk for Hunger. As a result of this funding 42 million meals will be provided to the hungry in the Commonwealth. |
