The People’s Pantry of Great Barrington has been fighting food insecurity in South County for 23 years and in recent years demand has skyrocketed for their services. The Pantry has recently embarked on a $300,000 fundraiser to meet this year’s projected operating costs in the midst of a continuing surge in client numbers and increased expenses. The musicians coming together on the 22nd all recognize the role the Pantry plays in our community and have signed up to Pull for the Pantry. All proceeds from the evening will benefit the People’s Pantry.
