Dear All,
We hope that you all are staying warm- winter is finally here! That’s why first and foremost, we want to remind you that our amazing members who’ve organized our Bread and Roses campaign will be finishing up with shopping (using any cash donations we received) by end of day tomorrow (12/9), so that we can begin to package individual parcels to be distributed this Saturday in downtown Pittsfield.
Volunteer shifts are filled at this time, but we encourage anyone who can donate to do so now so that we can make the greatest impact this saturday in feeding as many as we can! Donations are easily made via Venmo if you have the app @Berkshires_DSA. If that doesn’t work for you, you can contact us about a check or cash contribution which we can figure out a way to get from you at your convenience. Also, if you are in need of food, we encourage you to come help yourself at the distribution! For more information about the Bread & Roses Food Drive, please visit our website. Thanks to all who have contributed and organized- this campaign has been such a success already!
