As the cost of living continues to rise, our food pantry is serving more families than ever—many of them working parents, small business owners, and neighbors who never imagined they would need help. In Westfield, a family of four now needs nearly $70,000 a year just to cover basic expenses. Yet wages haven’t kept pace, and the gap between income and survival grows wider every month.
This isn’t about unemployment or homelessness. It’s about teachers, tradespeople, and caregivers who are doing everything right—and still falling short.
And now, we’re facing a funding shortfall of our own. Money that we rely on to stock shelves, fuel our food truck, and keep families fed through the coldest months of the year.
We’ve created a range of donation options to make giving easy and impactful. Whether you’re able to contribute $250 or $5,000, each tier comes with meaningful recognition—from social media shoutouts and pantry signage to food truck features and press recognition. You’ll find a full list of giving levels and benefits on the back of this letter, so you can choose the option that best fits your business and your heart.
Your support helps us feed families with dignity and compassion. Your donation makes a tangible difference—and shows our community that your business stands for something powerful: neighbors helping neighbors.
We’d love to recognize your generosity and share your impact. Please contact Rebecca Hart at director@westfieldfoodpantry.org or (413) 572-0802 to pledge your support or learn more.
Your support helps stock our pantry, fuel our food truck, and uplift neighbors in need. We’ve outlined several donation tiers below, each with meaningful recognition to celebrate your impact. Choose the level that speaks to your values—and know that every dollar helps build a stronger, more caring community.
Any donation of $249 or less is greatly appreciated and will help feed our community. We will recognize your generosity in a social media post at the end of our campaign. For donations under $250, please donate via PayPal or Venmo.

All of the above, plus your logo/donor name featured on our website for 12 months, receive a Proud Supporter sticker, and a dedicated social media post.
All of the above, plus your logo/donor name prominently displayed on our food truck and sandwich board for one month, and a giant check photo opportunity with pantry staff.
All of the above, plus receive a tailored Food Truck visit to your location—designed with your goals, audience, and space in mind. It’s a unique opportunity to showcase your generosity, engage your community, and create a memorable moment worth sharing.
