Gratitude Spotlight: Thank you, Northern Berkshire Community!
In February, the compassionate guests of Wild Oats Market made a significant impact through their generous contributions to the Northern Berkshire Community’s Every Penny Counts Program. Their commitment to supporting local causes is truly commendable!
Every Penny Counts: When Wild Oats Market guests visit the coop, they have an opportunity to contributed to a greater cause. Their donations directly benefit the Northern Berkshire Community, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose.
Gratitude Overflow: We extend our heartfelt thanks to each guest shopper who participated. Your collective generosity resulted in a total donation of $2,148.82! These funds were delivered and will go a long way in supporting essential community initiatives, .
The February 2024 recipient of this heartfelt giving, the Berkshire Immigrant Center, plays a vital role in advocating for immigrant rights. With Laurie, a dedicated volunteer, accepting the funds on behalf of the organization, we witnessed firsthand the power of community coming together to make a difference. Her personal experience in supporting her son-in-law’s legal journey to U.S. citizenship has fueled her commitment to helping others in our neighborhoods. We were honored to meet such a compassionate and giving soul!
Let’s continue to uplift one another, create positive change, and build a stronger, more compassionate community. Thank you, Wild Oats Market guests, for embodying the spirit of generosity!
