Rachel’s Table has been addressing food insecurity in Western Massachusetts for 30 years, but this summer the program that rescues food and puts in the hands of those who need it underwent a major change.
Long a program of the Jewish Federation, Rachel’s Table became an independent nonprofit earlier this summer with the same goal of feeding the hungry and reducing the amount of food that would end up in landfills.
Executive Director Jodi Falk explained to Reminder Publishing that the one-time program needed to become independent because it had grown so much.
