Cornerstone Bank has donated $5,000 to Jeremiah’s Inn to support the ongoing operations of its Nutrition Center, one of the largest food pantries in Central Massachusetts. This contribution builds on the bank’s history of giving to the organization, including previous donations of $5,000 in 2023 and 2024 for the Nutrition Center and additional support for the organization’s recovery program and food drives.
This year’s donation will help Jeremiah’s Inn meet the growing demand for nutritious food among low-income residents in South Worcester, where food insecurity has reached unprecedented levels.
In 2024, Jeremiah’s Inn served over 32,000 individuals, a 30 percent increase from the previous year and a 167 percent increase over the past two years. At the same time, the Worcester County Food Bank reduced food distributions to the pantry by 30 percent, creating a critical gap between supply and demand. Cornerstone Bank’s continued support ensures that children, seniors and families who rely on the Nutrition Center have access to essential meals and resources.
“Supporting our neighbors in times of need is a core part of our mission,” said Cornerstone Bank CEO Todd Tallman. “We are proud to continue our partnership with Jeremiah’s Inn and help ensure local families have access to the food they need to grow and thrive.”
