ARMS Food/ Toiletries Drive Ends Today

The ARMS Community is holding a Food Drive!  The deadline to make a donation is Dec 16th! Which grade will donate the most food and toiletry items? Donations benefit The Center for Self-Reliance in Greenfield, MA.


Community Action's Center for Self-Reliance Food Pantries exists to forward the universal belief that no one should go to bed hungry. Its storefront pantry not only offers food to families, but also offers information and referrals to other services and programs.


The Center for Self-Reliance treats people with dignity and respect, bringing hope to those who are hungry. Each person who visits our pantry is given time to choose from a variety of non-perishable foods and fresh fruits and vegetables as available.


Enrolled individuals and families are able to receive food once per month, lessening the potential effects of hunger and poor nutrition. The Center also hosts fresh food and cooking demonstrations and nutrition workshops so that participants can learn new ways to combine healthy and nutritious food on a limited budget.
