North Brookfield Savings Bank is teaming up with local church groups and food pantries to launch a Fall Harvest Food Drive, taking place throughout the month of October.

The goal is to collect a minimum of 500 items at each branch location. North Brookfield Savings Bank will donate $1 for each donated item, up to $500 per branch.

Help the Fall Harvest Food Drive reach this goal by donating non-perishable food items, toiletries and paper goods at any of the North Brookfield Savings Bank branches in North Brookfield, West Brookfield, Palmer or Belchertown.

"North Brookfield Savings Bank is committed to the local community," said Donna Boulanger, president and CEO of North Brookfield Savings Bank in a statement. "It is our hope that by encouraging people to participate in such an important event like the Fall Harvest Food Drive, we can help families and individuals in our own neighborhoods who might be struggling with hunger."
