Ludlow Veterans Center Food Pantry
The Ludlow Veterans Services Department is proud to offer a Food Pantry to help veterans and their families facing food insecurity. According to Eric Segundo, Director of Veterans Services, food insecurity has become one of the greatest challenges affecting the veteran community in recent years.
"Our goal is to ensure that no veteran or their family goes without access to nutritious food," said Segundo. "This pantry is another way we are Serving Those Who Served by providing practical assistance when it's needed most."
The Food Pantry is open Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Veterans interested in receiving assistance are encouraged to contact the Veterans Department at 413-707-5050 to register or obtain additional information. Walk-ins are welcome, and no appointment is required.
