16th Annual March for the Food Bank

Every year the Food Bank and Monte Belmonte lead a march against hunger for 43-miles from Springfield to Greenfield. Monte, Congressman Jim McGovern, Food Bank Executive Director Andrew Morehouse, and marchers fundraise to support the mission of the Food Bank and spread awareness about how hunger effects people throughout the region.

For the 16th Annual March for the Food Bank, our goal is to raise $650,000 – the equivalent of 1,300,000 meals!

The community is encouraged to make donations by phone or online while Monte and the marchers make their way across three counties. Both WRSI – The River and New England Public Media will be airing special programming about food insecurity and hunger leading up to and during the days of the March.

Can’t make it out to the March? You can also support our efforts by donating to the March or purchasing a Monte’s Mixed Bag. Each of the 100 exclusive bags is filled with a unique combination of goodies and gift cards, and will become available at State Street Market and Coopers Corner October 28th for a donation of $100.
