Thank You Belchertown CAN!
We at the Amherst Survival Center are once again extremely grateful for the incredible effort Belchertown CAN put into collecting food for five local pantries, including our own. The ton of food we received will provide over 1,500  meals for hungry people in the Belchertown area who depend on us for their basic needs. The work of the Belchertown Community Aid Network provides inspiration to all of us that, "yes we CAN too!"
