PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Central Berkshire Habitat for Humanity has announced a 1-to-1 matching donation campaign for the holiday season, offering donors the opportunity to double their contributions. 

 

An anonymous supporter has pledged to match all donations up to $6,000 as part of the campaign, which runs through the holiday season, starting on #GivingTuesday, Dec. 3.

 

Donations made through the campaign's online platform (donorbox.org/home-for-the-holidays-match) will directly support Habitat for Humanity's efforts to build affordable housing in Berkshire County.

 

"This match challenge by a longtime supporter means so much to our team, volunteers, homeowners, and the community," said Habitat CEO Carolyn Valli. "It's an incredible gift for the program, just in time for #GivingTuesday."

 

The organization is currently completing four condominium units on Pittsfield's West Side and plans to construct six more units in Pittsfield by 2025. Habitat is also preparing for the first phase of the Prosperity Way community in Housatonic, which will include ten single-family homes.

 

"Every dollar we raise will help keep these homes affordable for local residents," Valli added.

 

The campaign aims to provide critical funding for these housing projects while encouraging community engagement during the holiday giving season.
