NEW! Northern Berkshire Community Coalition Weekend Meal Delivery Program.
Berkshire County COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund to coordinate a weekend meal delivery service through our local restaurants to those community members who are currently unable to leave their homes and unable to access food on the weekend. This initiative is open to people who reside in any one of the seven north Berkshire towns [Williamstown, North Adams, Clarksburg, Florida, Adams, Cheshire, and Savoy]. Limited supply.
This program is intended to reach individuals and families with no other access to food resources on weekends. nbCC will be asking interested participants what food resources they are already accessing in order to avoid any duplication of efforts and so that we can expand our community's ability to provide for vulnerable populations.
For more information: 413-663-7588. nbCC staff will be taking phone calls Monday through Friday, 9am-3pm.
This program is free of charge, as nbCC will be using the funds we were awarded to compensate both the restaurant and the delivery driver for their service.
