PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Market 32 and Price Chopper supermarkets have launched a holiday drive encouraging customers to purchase $10 pre-packed bags of essential food items to support local food pantries. 

 

The initiative runs through Jan. 5, with all donations benefiting pantries local to each store.

 

Each bag contains pantry staples such as macaroni, peanut butter, soup, tuna, beans, and chicken. Customers can find the bags on display at store entrances, alongside signage identifying the recipient organizations.

 

The drive aims to provide immediate support to individuals and families experiencing nutrition insecurity in the communities Market 32/Price Chopper serves.
