Amherst Survival Center

Helping Neighbors in Need

Catalog cover

2020-2021 Gift Catalog

Early in our COVID-19 response, the Amherst Survival Center focused our efforts on our food and nutrition programs. We now provide up to 250 lunches a day—an increase of about 150 per day. We have increased the amount of food that households get each month from our Food Pantry, and we continue to grow our grocery delivery program to make food accessible to those who can’t get to the Center. The Amherst Survival Center has a bold and actionable plan to provide more food to more people over the coming year, but we need your help.

The gifts in this catalog, through your contributions, help so many: struggling families, the working poor, low-income seniors, new immigrants, students, and people coping with mental illness and homelessness. We are so grateful for your continued support of our COVID-19 response.

Donate securely online to the Amherst Survival Center through Stripe, our payment gateway.
