Donate Today, Join Our Annual Holiday Drive to Fight Hunger

Rooted in the mission of bettering the lives of low-income individuals and families within Hampshire County, the Northampton Survival Center (NSC) brings resources back to the heart of the community: its people. For over 45 years, the NSC has been supporting our community by helping families and friends overcome food insecurity.

The first few times I left the pantry, I cried. I was overwhelmed by the gentleness from the staff when I was first getting set up,” shared a Survival Center Client.

Now, the Northampton Survival Center needs our help.

 

Join Burke Chevrolet’s Annual Holiday Food Drive & Give Back This Season

Every year, we join the Northampton Survival Center’s fight against hunger with our Annual Holiday Drive. This drive is something our team looks forward to every single year. It’s a fulfilling cause to watch our community come together to support something bigger than ourselves. This winter season, if you’re able, please stop by our spot at 200 North King Street and bring along whatever you can spare.

Big or small, it all makes a difference.
