The Berkshire County Chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America is holding a “Bread And Roses” food giveaway in Pittsfield, Massachusetts from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday. Chapter member Abigail Childs tells WAMC the event is the climax of a month-long, countywide effort to get fresh, local food to those experiencing food insecurity in the community.
CHILDS: We will be handing out between 100 and 150 bags of groceries. Those groceries will include non-perishable items like canned soup, crackers, canned meat, etc., with also some fresh goods like fresh vegetables from local farmers, bread that, it will be made that morning by a baker in Mill River, sauerkraut and many other goodies. We wanted to give people a wide variety of both shelf-stable food and fresh food.
