PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Carr Hardware customers in Lenox and Pittsfield raised $1,856.35 through a round-up campaign benefiting the Thanksgiving Angels program. 
 
The funds helped provide Thanksgiving meals for over 2,000 families in Berkshire County.
 
During October, customers at the two store locations were encouraged to round up their purchases to the nearest dollar, with proceeds donated to the South Congregational Church's Thanksgiving Angels program. This initiative ensures that families in need can enjoy traditional holiday dinners.
 
"We are incredibly grateful to our customers for their overwhelming support during this round-up campaign," said Bart Raser, President of Carr Hardware. "Thanks to their generosity, we are able to help the Thanksgiving Angels provide thousands of meals to local families. It's a true reflection of the spirit of giving that defines our community."
 
The Thanksgiving Angels program, a long-standing resource in the region, relies on local volunteers and organizations to deliver meals and foster community connections. Carr Hardware thanked participants and reaffirmed its commitment to supporting similar initiatives in the future.
