Adams Community Bank Donates $50,000 to Support Local Food Pantries
ADAMS, MA – December 15, 2025 – Adams Community Bank (ACB) announced $50,000 in charitable donations to support food pantries across Berkshire County, underscoring the Bank’s ongoing commitment to strengthening local communities and addressing food insecurity throughout the region.
The funds will be distributed directly to food pantries serving families and individuals in need across the county’s cities and towns. This donation aims to help pantries meet rising demand for essential food supplies, especially as many households continue to face increased economic pressures. ACB has a long history of supplying food security initiatives through donations, volunteer engagements, and community partnerships.
“As a community bank, our mission extends far beyond financial services,” said Julie Fallon Hughes, President and CEO of ACB. “We are dedicated to supporting the well-being of our neighbors. These food pantries play a critical role in ensuring families have access to nutritious food, and we are honored to help them continue this vital work.”
In conjunction with the donation, every ACB branch is hosting a bank-wide food drive throughout December. Community members, customers, and employees are invited to drop off non-perishable food items at any of our branch locations. All donations will remain in the local community, benefiting the food pantry that serves each respective town or city.
