Springfield MA Radio: Monte Marches For Food

Monte’s March, an annual march against hunger through the Pioneer Valley, began this morning at 7 a.m. in Springfield, MA

Morning host Monte Belmonte from WRSI 93.9 FM The River leads the 43 mile, two-day march each year from Springfield to Greenfield. Along the way, Belmonte will push a shopping cart; urging listeners make donations to The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts.

Over the last 7 years, “Monte’s March” has raised nearly $600,000, providing more than 1.8 million meals to people in need across the Pioneer Valley.
