The local food pantry has helped many residence in the community, including my family. Adams, Massachusetts is my hometown and it's tough for all to see a decline in the economy, but I believe there's still need for the generosity to assist residence during tough times. My goal is to find new volunteers to take the place of previous ones if needed and find a location within the town for the food pantry to continue helping those in need. The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts has helped many communities and may be able to shine light on this issue with enough support.
