BFAIR Kicks Off Its Annual Campaign
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — As the season of giving ramps up, Berkshire Family & Individual Resources is kicking off its fourth Annual Campaign.
Chaired by Patti Messina, clerk of the Board of Directors, this year’s campaign hopes to surpass last year’s campaign total of $17,000. Having completed a year of strategic growth and new initiatives, BFAIR is poised to continue that momentum into 2016.
BFAIR typically has been been known for providing services to individuals living with developmental disabilities, but Executive Director Rich Weisenflue said there is a "changing landscape of services and people" that the agency serves, including elders in the home and those with acquired brain injury, as well as children and adults living with autism.
"Most notably, we will begin to offer community based day services in our newly acquired space on Roberts Drive in North Adams and grow our residential services programs in Pittsfield and expand to southern Berkshire County,” he said.
This year’s Annual Campaign will run through February 2016. A “Giving from the Heart” event hosted by BFAIR and the North Adams Chamber of Commerce scheduled for Feb. 11 will give the community an opportunity to visit the administrative office while networking with friends and colleagues.
