Witch Slapped Community Center & Mutual Aid Pantry
A Space for Everyone
At Witch Slapped, we have created a space where everyone is welcome to rest, recharge, share, and contribute. Many of our friends spend entire days here, not just receiving help, but also giving back.
- A safe haven offering warmth, shelter, and a supportive community.
- A gathering place where people can sit together, play chess or board games, share music, and build friendships.
- A shared responsibility where the community helps keep the space clean, stocks the pantry, welcomes visitors, and maintains a safe and respectful environment.
- A place to give and receive. Some days, someone might need a meal or a warm space. Other days, they may be the one helping to cook, bringing in a dish, or sharing a skill.
Witch Slapped Community Pantry & Potluck Program
Our food pantry is open to anyone in need—no questions, no judgment.
We host potlucks whenever we are open, providing enough food for two meals per day. Anyone can bring in a dish, and anyone can eat. Some of us cook in bulk daily to keep up with the growing needs of the potluck program.
Location: 78 North St, Pittsfield, MA 01201
Hours: Monday 12 PM-4 PM | Wednesday 6 PM-10 PM | Thursday-Sunday 12 PM-8 PM

Why This Matters
This is more than just providing food. It is about dignity, respect, and building something together. The people who come through our doors are not just receiving help; they are part of our community. They help clean, stock, welcome new visitors, and protect this space.
They are not burdens. They are neighbors.
They are not problems. They are people.
And they deserve love, safety, and support—just like everyone else.
Together, we create something meaningful. Not just in words, but in real, tangible change.
Join us. Help us. Be part of the movement.
