Over 600,000 meals for our neighbors in need!


Monte’s March 2016 was an amazing success, raising over $200,000 in cash for the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts – over 550,000 meals for our hungry neighbors. THANK YOU to all who called in to donate, to the marchers, to the challenge grantors, to the local businesses who fed us and let us use their bathrooms, and to our sponsors who help make all of this happen:  Alternative Recycling, Northampton Brewery, Amherst Montessori School, Chandler’s Restaurant, Four Seasons Wine and Liquor, Northeast Solar, Pierce Brothers Coffee, Whole Foods Hadley.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
