Rick Hart: A personal decision "> Published: 7/7/2021 4:30:14 PM The many readers who recently expressed their annoyance at the presence of panhandlers and other street people downtown are little aware of how difficult life is for people who have no home, in Northampton, the commonwealth and beyond. The pandemic has been a time of isolation and loneliness for everyone, but imagine what it must be like to have no roof over your head. Thanks to MANNA Community Kitchen, meals are available to all who are hungry. Ask any MANNA volunteer about the people they meet and they will fill your ears with the difficulties with which the homeless have to cope.
