NORTH ADAMS, Mass. - Volunteers at Northern Berkshire Healthcare are doing their part to help the Northern Berkshire Community Action Council office in a time of increased need.
NBH Volunteer Services recently conducted a raffle of a $25 gift certificate donated by Gramercy Bistro in North Adams. The raffle netted $169, which has been used to purchase holiday gifts for two children through Community Action’s Elf Program. The Gramercy gift certificate was won by Barbara Giroux, who works in the North Adams Regional Hospital laboratory.
NBH volunteers are working with the National Alliance on Mental Illness to collect holiday gifts for patients on NARH’s Greylock Pavilion through December 18, including journals, pens and pencils, crossword puzzle books, hats, gloves and scarves. From December 19-23 volunteers will undertake one more project, collecting non-perishable food supplies to help stock the Community Action Food Pantry in North Adams.
For information on volunteering for NBH including NARH, the VNA & Hospice of Northern Berkshire, Sweet Brook Transitional Care & Living Centers, or the Women’s Exchange: Deborah Nicholas, Manager of Volunteer Services, at 413-664-5261.
