Food Pantry in memory of Lisa Branco Bellavance

Lisa Branco Bellavance was a devoted daughter, sister, friend, wife, and teacher. Born and raised in Fall River and Westport, MA, she died in June 2006 at age 35, after a long battle with brain cancer.
Lisa dedicated her life to teaching elementary students in Fall River – students of all abilities and backgrounds. She was an incredibly thoughtful person who always loved to help in any way she could, and often went out of her way to do it. Whether it was finding the perfect gift, lending a helping hand, tutoring a child who was struggling, or simply greeting someone with a warm smile and a hello, she always wanted to make people feel seen. We are holding this food pantry in her memory because it is something she would have loved to support. Her family and friends miss her more than words can say.
