Name: Food Bank of Western Massachusetts: 17th March for the Food Bank
Date: November 23, 2026 - November 24, 2026
Event Description:

Join Us for the 17th Annual March for the Food Bank! 

Every November, the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts teams up with Monte Belmonte of NEPM to lead a powerful march against hunger—covering 43 miles from Springfield to Greenfield. This two-day event brings together Monte, Congressman Jim McGovern, Food Bank Executive Director Andrew Morehouse, and a passionate community of supporters, all united to raise critical funds that help provide healthy meals to our Western Massachusetts community. 

Why Participate? 
Hunger is a reality for thousands of families in Western Massachusetts. By joining the march and fundraising, you’re making a direct impact—every dollar raised helps the Food Bank deliver food to those who need it. Your support ensures that no one in our community has to choose between food and other essentials. 
The March spans two days, and you can decide how far you want to go—take on the full 43 miles or join for a portion of the journey. Every step counts toward ending hunger. 

Be part of this incredible tradition. Walk with us, fundraise, and help create a stronger, healthier Western Massachusetts!
