Do you know someone who is hungry, who does not have enough money for food? "Food insecurity" is real, even here in Amherst, and there are resources for those in need.
The Amherst Survival Center is an excellent resource, offering a free hot lunch every weekday from noon to 1:00, and the food pantry is open during lunch hours.
Project Bread's FoodSource Hotline is one way for those in need of assistance to access food resources, including:
Food Stamps
Summer meal sites
School breakfast and lunch programs
Emergency food programs
Low-cost food resources
