SPRINGFIELD — Rachel’s Table, a food insecurity organization in the greater Springfield area, officially celebrated the acquisition of a new truck, dubbed the “Glean Machine,” with a ribbon cutting on June 7.
At the same time, the organization recognized its move to new offices within the Springfield Jewish Community Center.
Rachel’s Table focuses on alleviating hunger and food waste. In addition to purchasing and growing food, it collects excess food from supermarkets, caterers, bakeries and restaurants, and delivers it to other organizations that address food insecurity.
