A time-honored tradition at Bay Path University is coming together to support a designated charity during the holiday season. This year, we were proud to partner with Rachel’s Table, one of the largest organizations in the region working to address food insecurity across Western Massachusetts.
In 2025, the curtailment of SNAP benefits has had a devastating impact on families and communities. Rachel’s Table stepped up to help fill that critical gap, and continues to do so as the situation remains volatile. As the organization reminds us, “Hunger is not just a problem in this moment—hunger is here 365 days a year.”
The Bay Path community was honored to support Rachel’s Table and to express our gratitude for the work they do every day. To date in 2025, Rachel’s Table has collected an impressive 936,874 pounds of food. Through our collective efforts, Bay Path University was able to contribute an additional 114 pounds, helping bring the organization even closer to its goal of one million pounds of food raised.
