Harvard food pantry effort earns high praise

HARVARD – The community effort that resulted in the new Harvard Food Pantry and Senior Center received recognition in Springfield on Thursday.

The building completed in late 2011 won the Governor’s Hometown Award in the service and mentorship category for cities of 5,001 to 10,000 population.

Community members raised about $200,000 and donated labor and materials that equaled another $200,000, Mayor Jay Nolan said.
