Keene, New Hampshire-based C&S Wholesale Grocers is donating $500,000 to The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts to support its expansion efforts with the development of a larger distribution center and headquarters.
The facility will be based in Chicopee, Massachusetts, and will enable The Food Bank of WMA to receive and distribute a larger volume of food, especially fresh food. C&S has been a supporter of The Food Bank of WMA since 2002, providing financial aid and continuous food and product donations.
“The pandemic and economic environment have drastically increased the number of people facing food insecurity,” said Rick Cohen, executive chairman, C&S Wholesale Grocers. “With the development of this new facility, The Food Bank of WMA will be able to reach more families in need.”
