Just a little bit more to go

Today, the 43-mile journey I embarked on with my friend Monte Belmonte to Greenfield will come to an end. You would think that after 13 years of making the trek, it's started to lose its shine.

But that couldn't be farther from the truth.

Every year, I arrive in Greenfield a little tired, maybe even a little cold, but burning with appreciation for the support which Bay Staters have shown for our neighbors. This year is no different.

We set an ambitious fundraising goal this year, asking supporters like you to help us raise $20,000 for the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts. Because of your generosity, we are so close to meeting that goal. Will you make a donation today to push us over the line?

No one in our country, or our state, should have to worry about where their next meal will come from. So please, consider making a donation today if you haven't already.

Together, we can help put food on Thanksgiving tables and smiles on faces all over Western Massachusetts.

More soon,

Jim
