Support the Thanksgiving Angels: Providing Meals for Berkshire County

As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, the Thanksgiving Angels initiative needs our support to provide traditional Thanksgiving meals for less fortunate families across Berkshire County.

Each year, the Thanksgiving Angels distribute uncooked turkeys and all the traditional fixings, allowing families to celebrate the holiday in the comfort of their own homes.
