The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts has announced a partnership with a community health center on an anti-hunger initiative.

Beginning this spring, pediatric patients at Holyoke Health Center will be screened to determine if they need help to feed their families.

This is the first step in the implementation of a new action plan developed by a task force. 

               WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief spoke with Food Bank executive director Andrew Morehouse.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
