Berkshire Community Action Council (BCAC)

Thank you for helping us keep kids warm this season!

Donations for the BCAC Elf Program were delivered! We are thrilled to announce that Jennifer Jasiorkowski (Communications Director) and Aleta Moncecchi (Debuty Director, North County) from Berkshire Community Action Council, Inc., recently visited to receive a check for the Every Penny Counts Program from Netse Lytle (General Manager) from Wild Oats Market.

Thanks to your incredible generosity, a total of $2,874.65 was donated in October 2024. This significant contribution was delivered to the BCAC Elf Program!

But we're not stopping there! We are excited to share that we are continuing to support this cause with a drop box for children's items located at our guest service desk. We invite the Northern Berkshire Community during the next 3 months, to donate new coats, boots, mittens, hats and other items to keep kids warm (for children newborn to 12 years old) at the coop. Thank you for your continued support and generosity. Together, we can make a meaningful impact in our community.

Help Us Keep Kids Warm!

We're excited to announce that we are hosting a Berkshire Community Action Council (BCAC) clothing drop box spot this November, December, and January at our Williamstown, MA, Main Street store! 

We invite the Northern Berkshire Community to donate new coats, boots and other items to keep children warm this winter. Donations will support children from birth to 12 years old.

Thank you for your kindness and support in helping our neighbors in need.

Every donation makes a difference!
