The Hilltown Churches Food Pantry is located in the downstairs of the Congregational Church on Main Street in Ashfield. The only requirement for joining the food pantry is the need for food. There are no income requirements so please come and sign up. 

The Food Pantry serves the eleven Hilltowns of Ashfield, Buckland, Charlemont, Colrain, Conway, Hawley, Heath, Monroe, Plainfield, Rowe and Shelburne. 

Food distributions are every other Tuesday from 3 to 5 PM. We typically serve about 600 people at each distribution. Distribution calendars are available at the Congregational Church or can be mailed directly to you. For weather/closure updates listen to WHAI (FM 98.3) or Channel 22.

Please come in and see us to sign-up for food if you have the need, it is easy and confidential as we are there to help.

The Food Pantry is a joint mission of the following Hilltown churches:

• First Congregational Church of Ashfield
• First Congregational Church of Conway
• First Congregational Church of Shelburne
• Mary Lyon Church of Buckland
• Saint John’s Episcopal Church of Ashfield

We rely on donations of money and food for our continued operation. We are able to stretch our money because we can access food through the Food Bank of Western Mass. 

Should you wish to make a donation our mailing address is: Hilltown Churches Food Pantry, PO Box 161, Ashfield, MA 01330-0161.
