Al Nelson Friendship Center food pantry

The Al Nelson Friendship Center Food Pantry in North Adams offers rides from volunteers so people don't have to walk back home carrying their groceries.

The City of North Adams is holding a non-perishable food drive from now through Nov. 22, to benefit the Al Nelson Friendship Center Food Pantry on Eagle St.

North Adams city employees and community members donated 1,044 pounds of non-perishable food and personal care items during the city’s annual holiday food drive.
