BUSINESS AND COMMUNITY SPONSORS

Businesses and community groups are essential partners in the Amherst Survival Center’s mission. By becoming a business or community sponsor, you’re supporting our programs that meet the basic needs of our neighbors, create a sense of community, and connect people to other available resources.

BUSINESS/ORGANIZATION PARTNERS
FOOD RECOVERY PARTNERS & FARMERS FIGHTING HUNGER
IN-KIND CONTRIBUTORS & COMMUNITY DRIVES
UMass 5 volunteers

Businesses and community organizations provide financial support and in-kind contributions of goods and services, participate in community fundraising activities, lead workplace drives for food, personal care items and clothing, and volunteer their time and skills. We welcome the opportunity to work with area businesses and organizations to customize the best fit for your organization.

Your support will:

  • Increase your company’s or organization’s visibility and expand your marketing reach.
  • Strengthen your connection to the community.
  • Offer your employees or members an opportunity to engage in the work of the Center

Learn more about sponsorship opportunities and other ways to be involved by contacting Lisa Queenin, Development Coordinator, at development@amherstsurvival.org or 413-549-3968 x108.

Event Sponsorship

Sponsor one of our major fundraising events, Empty Bowls in March, Hike for Hunger in October, and Feed the Spirit in the fall when we resume this event. Event sponsorships are available at different levels and are recognized in a variety of ways.

Program Sponsorship

Provide targeted support for the Amherst Survival Center’s mission by sponsoring a day of services or a specific program. Examples of program sponsorship opportunities include A Day of Services, Food Pantry programs, Meals for the Week, the Personal Care Pantry, and the Community Store.

Donations of Goods and Services

In-kind donations of goods and services support our programs and help the organization offset operational costs. We gratefully accept donations of food, personal care items, printing services, creative and professional services, event space, and advertising placements. MORE INFO

Workplace Drives

Drives are a great way to unite your business around the cause of fighting hunger and supporting our neighbors in need. For ideas and more information on how to execute a successful Food & Fund Drive, click here. We also welcome community drives for other needed items such as personal care items, diapers, and (new) children’s books and games for our Holiday Gift Program.

Volunteering

Engage your team and make a difference. Our Volunteer Coordinator is happy to arrange the right project that meets the specific interest of your employees and the needs of the center. Learn more about volunteer opportunities.

Job Services and Recruitment

Participate in the Center’s job fairs or let our Job Search Assistance program know of a job opening at your business. Our Job Search Assistance Program offers personalized coaching for job seekers at all skill levels.
