Sadly, a grim pattern is emerging from many local food pantries. Donations have flatlined or fallen, and it's no secret that a slowing economy has pushed more families to the financial edge. Food and gas prices have increased, leading more of those people to seek aid at community and cooperative food pantries. Since the demand for emergency food aid is increasing, Village Ambulance Service has decided to make its annual food drive a year-round event. Non-perishable food items or grocery store gift-card donations can be dropped off at our office located at 30 Water Street, Williamstown, MA. If transportation isn't possible, please call 413-458-4889 or 413-884-5729 for donation pickup. All donations are tax deductible.
Due to your generous contributions, to date, Village Ambulance Service has raised over 1500 lbs of food for the Williamstown Food Pantry. Thank you for your continued support!

Please consider donating any jacket (clean and in usable condition) to our endeavor. Many times our families have to make a choice whether to buy coats for their kids or pay rent. The coats we receive will make that decision an easier one. We are excited to report that we are joining forces with the Williamstown Council on Aging for our upcoming Coat Drive. We are planning a collection day for Tuesday, November 1, 2011 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Harper Center, 118 Church Street, Williamstown, MA 01267; however, we are more than happy to collect throughout the year using our ambulance headquarters as the collection center.
