Whitney’s Pantry needs volunteers!  
Our essentials pantry ministry provides free products such as toilet paper, shampoo and toothpaste during the Second Helpings meal on the last Monday of each month.  Volunteers set up the tables, assist guests in selecting what they need, and then clear up afterward.  It is neither difficult not time-consuming, and interacting with our guests is an enjoyable way to participate in the community-building ministry of Saints James and Andrew.  Peter Massa ([email protected] or (413) 519-7244) would be delighted to answer your questions or to include you in the schedule of volunteers!
