NORTHAMPTON A free meal program for veterans that had been put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic will resume serving food at new drive-up locations beginning in early November. The drive-thru meal program will kick off on Nov. 4 from noon to 1 p.m. in the parking lot of the Daily Hampshire Gazette at 115 Conz St., according to Chad Wright, associate director of Building Bridges Veterans Initiative, which is organizing the program. The program will be in this parking lot from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. the first Wednesday of every month, Wright said.
