The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts
Mountain View Farm and The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts work together to provide more local food to those facing hunger in our community.
Mountain View Farm leases a large parcel of land owned by The Food Bank. In exchange, we provide fresh, local, organic fruits and vegetables to The Food Bank for distribution to front-line food assistance providers and people in need throughout our region. Over the last 15 years, through our unique partnership, Mountain View Farm has shipped over two million pounds of fresh, local, organic fruits and veggies to the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts which they have distributed to our neighbors in need!
The mission of The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts is to lead the community to end hunger. Each year, The Food Bank serves more than 211,000 food insecure people across Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden and Hampshire Counties through their partner agencies of food pantries, meal sites and shelters.
