NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — PopCares, an organization that supports local families battling cancer, has reached a significant milestone thanks to the support of the community.  
 
PopCares has given over $1,000,000 to cancer patients and caregivers in Northern Berkshire County and neighboring Southern Vermont towns since our inception in 2012. They hit this milestone in February. 
 
"Reaching this milestone is a testament to the power of compassion, collaboration, and the generosity of our community members who believe in our mission," read a press release. "PopCares extends heartfelt gratitude to every individual, business, and organization that has contributed time, resources, and support."
 
"The success of PopCares is not particularly a celebration of numbers, as we all wish this need did not exist; however, it represents the positive impact we can bring about when we join forces. As we mark this milestone, PopCares remains steadfast in its mission, and we are committed to continuing this journey with the incredible community that has been the backbone of our success."
