Savers Bank Donates $5,000 to People First Food Pantry in Uxbridge

Southbridge, MA – December 23, 2024, Savers Bank is proud to support the People First Food Pantry with a $5,000 donation to help combat food insecurity in the community. This contribution will assist the pantry in continuing its vital mission of serving over 275 people every month—a number that has grown by 45% in the past year. 

The People First Food Pantry, a 100% volunteer-run organization, recently reached an important milestone by purchasing a cargo van to improve its operations. The new van has been instrumental in enabling volunteers to transport bulk food donations from the Worcester County Food Bank and other local partners. With some deliveries weighing up to 3,000 pounds, this reliable transportation is ensuring that food reaches families in need more efficiently than ever before. 

The donation from Savers Bank will help offset the cost of the van, supporting the pantry as it continues to address the growing needs of Uxbridge residents. 

“We’re honored to contribute to such an impactful organization,” said Rosemary Picard, President & CEO of Savers Bank. “The People First Food Pantry’s efforts to fight hunger align perfectly with our commitment to building stronger communities. It’s a privilege to help them serve more families.” 

Savers Bank remains dedicated to strengthening the communities it serves by partnering with organizations like People First Food Pantry. Together, they help to ensure no family in Uxbridge goes hungry.
