Empowering volunteers to feed homebound seniors on the 3rd and 4th weekends of each month. If you would like to participate in this program please contact the Rectory at 413-583-3467. Monday - Friday between 8:00am & 4:00pm
Take and Eat was founded in 2003 by Rev. Mrs. Francis Ryan, EdD and his wife Kathleen as a non-profit organization to recruit, train and empower volunteers in various faith based community organizations to prepare and deliver, free of charge, hot and cold meals to the homebound elderly on weekends and 3 day holidays.
The government funded Meals-on-Wheels Program provided meals to seniors Monday - Friday. On weekends and holidays these elders in need for the most part have no access to a nutritious meal and in many instances no contact with another human being.
