PITTSFIELD, Mass. — National Fitness Partners (NFP), a Planet Fitness franchise group operating 175 locations across 13 states, marked Giving Tuesday by donating 800 pounds of food to the Western Massachusetts Food Bank. 

 

This contribution equates to approximately 800 meals for local families facing food insecurity.

 

The donation comes from six NFP locations in the region, supporting the Food Bank’s mission to end hunger through partnerships with farms, state and federal programs, and community organizations. In Western Massachusetts, food insecurity affects 12.1 percent of residents, including 17.3 percent of children, with Hampden, Berkshire, and Hampshire counties experiencing the greatest need, according to a press release.

 

NFP regularly partners with local organizations through volunteer work, food drives, and fundraisers to address critical needs in the community.
