PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Two local food businesses - one new, one not - are closing their doors next month.

Harry's Supermarket on Elm Street will shutter, along with Brulees restaurant on North Street.

Sixteen years ago, Harry's Supermarket had one store on Wahconah Street. But when the old A&P supermarket on Elm Street closed, the Nichols family decided to open a second store there. For more than a decade it has served the local neighborhood with the same service that the Wahconah Street store served its neighborhood.

Now, the Nichols family has announced that the Elm Street Harry's Supermarket will be closing. A sign on the door of the Elm Street store says it will be closing on or about March 15. Bob and Tom Nichols said they have enjoyed serving the Elm Street neighborhood for the last 16 years and hope that customers will continue to shop at the original Wahconah Street store.

Brulees was opened by Ken and Cara Peckham in 2010 in the former Bobby Hudpuckers and soon became a gathering site for local pols. The couple told the Berkshire Eagle they will concentrate on their catering business so they can spend more time with their young children.

BVNA Nurses Raise Funds for Berkshire Bounty

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Massachusetts Nursing Association members of the Berkshire Visiting Nurses Association raised $650 to help with food insecurity in Berkshire County.
 
The nurses and health-care professionals of BVNA have given back to the community every holiday season for the last three years. The first year, they adopted a large family, raised money, bought, wrapped and delivered the gifts for the family. Last year, they sold raffle tickets and the money raised went to the charitable cause of the winner. 
 
This year, with food insecurity as a rising issue, they chose to give to Berkshire Bounty in Great Barrington.
 
They sold raffle tickets for a drawing to win one of two items: A lottery ticket tree or a gift certificate tree, each worth $100. They will be giving the organization the donation this month.
 
Berkshire Bounty seeks to improve food security in the county through food donations from retailers and local farms; supplemental purchases of healthy foods; distribution to food sites and home deliveries; and collaborating with partners to address emergencies and improve the food system.
