Great caring place to go when the need is called for. You can go for lunch. Or once a month for a whole bunch of groceries. They definitely where very helpful at different times for me. They even have a free store inside. From donations from many different folks. Remember! Food is a right for everyone! Thank You. Ps. Not sure what will happen this year. The Thanksgiving meal has always been very special.

This is an amazing place for people in need. They have a descent sized cafeteria serving great food. A clothing little store, grocery area and vegetables area. All for free no questions asked when walking in. Very good community service.

People here are really rude and the place is way to small to accommodate all the people it needs too. I had the lady who sighs you in to get food bark at me about putting a box atop of a carriage cause there was no room to put it anywhere else cause the room is to small and packed with people.On another occasion I watched the same woman down talk a woman who was upset cause she couldn't find her friend she came in with. I try to avoid this place now as much as possible.

This place is a lifesaver, literally, for many people in the pioneer valley area. The staff is always very mindful and kind, even though this is sometimes tough considering the quirks of their patrons. It's all very organized and clean. Has great weekly rotating resources. They serve a pretty interesting and enjoyable lunch there too. If you're local and in need I highly recommend.
