We look forward to returning to our full scope of programming as soon as it is safe to do so.
The Amherst Survival Center is a community center where we provide resources that help people to meet their basic needs. We provide free meals (community meals) and free groceries (food pantry, mobile programs, and fresh food distribution) and a free health clinic, as well as a resource center.
