The Pioneer Valley Block Grant along with many private businesses and individuals who donate funds and food support the Wales Community Pantry. Pioneer Valley Planning Commission (PVPC) is funded through modest annual assessments from its member communities, state and federal grant programs, fees for administering community development block grants, and matching funds.
The pantry is a once-a-month supplemental program for folks in need. In January 2024, we served 105 households. In the summer of 2025, we served 180 housholds and growing to over 400 individuals. Every week we are adding new households in need. Please share our information with anyone in need. Donations of any amount can bring healthy food to those in need in our 3 towns. To accommodate the growing need, we have moved to 172 Plamer Road (Route 20) Brimfield as we continue to serve our communities.

Why Donate?
We make a difference to hundred of residents in Brimfield, Holland, and Wales each month!
A great deal of our food comes from food drives, store donations, and through the Food Bank of Western MA. Monitary donations are used to suppliment what we are unable to acquire through donations.
