At the beginning of the summer we wrote about the benefits of families, schools and organizations taking an organized field trip The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts in our post, Visit The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts: A Community-Based Educational Field Trip for Kids. We mentioned that Hilltown Families would be organizing a field trip in September during Hunger Awareness Month and that groups and individuals are invited to join us.
We’ve set a date for our field trip: Saturday, September 15th at 1:30pm in Hatfield, MA!
Our field trip will involve a tour of the Food Bank in Hatfield, where 7.6 million pounds of food gets sorted every year! Participating families/groups can see how the facility operates with pallets of food, the walk in freezer, forklifts and staff management. Games as a group will be facilitated to aid in the understand of the concept of hunger, and there will be a hands-on volunteer project. This is a free event, open to all!
