MountainOne Thankful 5K to Benefit Local Food Pantries
 |
PITTSFIELD, Mass.— MountainOne will partner with Berkshire Running Foundation, the charitable arm of the Berkshire Running Center, as the lead sponsor of its 9th annual Thankful 5K.
The run/walk will be held on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28, at Berkshire Community College, located at 1350 West Street in Pittsfield, starting at 9 a.m.
All proceeds and donations of food from the fundraising event directly benefit South Community Church's local food pantries and its Fuel Assistance Fund. Pittsfield pantries serve the largest population in Western Massachusetts, with over 800 families receiving assistance weekly, a number that continues to grow.
"We're proud to support this event and to see it carry the MountainOne name," said Jonathan Denmark, President & COO of MountainOne Insurance. "The MountainOne Thankful 5K has become a meaningful tradition in our community, helping to provide food and resources to local families in need. It's a wonderful way to start Thanksgiving Day by giving back together."
Community members are encouraged to register for the MountainOne Thankful 5K and to bring non-perishable food donations to Berkshire Running Center at 5 Cheshire Road in Pittsfield by November 22 or on the morning of the event.
