Letter: Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

The Board of Directors of the Al Nelson Friendship Center Food Pantry in North Adams wishes to thank the North Adams, Clarksburg and Florida Mountain community for their generation donations to the May 11 Letter Carrier Food Drive.

We received a total of 3,595 pounds of food and personal care items.

We equally want to thank our Letter Carriers who work out of the North Adams Post Office. They again went above and beyond in collecting the donations and bringing them to the collection and sorting site. They are always a pleasure to work with.

We also want to thank the Northern Berkshire United Way, the Northern Berkshire Community Coalition, and the Berkshire United Way for their support, as well all of the volunteers who helped on the day of the Food Drive.

Daunis is the board president of the Friendship Center.

Water Shutoff Temporarily Closes North Adams Planet Fitness

Staff Reports

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Planet Fitness announced on its North Adams club website that the facility is temporarily closed due to a water shutoff.

The gym, located at 82 Main St., has been closed for several days. Members have taken to social media to express frustration over the sudden closure.

City officials said water to the gym had to be shut off due to a gas issue at the property. Berkshire Gas is working to resolve the problem, which is not related to city infrastructure.

Label Shopper and Liquor World, which are located in the same shopping complex, remain open.

iBerkshires.com has reached out to Planet Fitness to inquire when the gym plans to reopen, but has yet to hear back.
