Dear Easthampton voters: When you come to the polls to vote on Tuesday, Nov. 3, I hope you will consider bringing a shelf-stable food item or two (or some cash). The Easthampton Democratic City Committee is hosting a Food Drive for the Easthampton Community Center!
The current federal administration has been decreasing the number of people who are eligible to receive SNAP benefits, which means more of our neighbors are going hungry and Community Center staff and volunteers are doing everything they can to feed increasing numbers of people in our area.
We will have collection boxes in the entryway of Easthampton High School. Please stop by, even if you voted early, to drop off food. Cash donations tend to go even farther, so if you can, consider making a donation today. https://easthamptoncommunitycenter.org/donate/.
