Sept. 22, 2021 (North Adams, MA) – Working together with the Wild Oats Round Up for Change Program; their community donation program, BFAIR raised over $3,900 directly supporting individuals with disabilities.

BFAIR was selected as the August charity of choice for the Wild Oats Market Round Up for Change Program.  Since June 2020, this wonderful program has generated over $40,000 for local nonprofits.

During the month of August, customers visited Wild Oats Market at 320 Main Street in Williamstown, MA and rounded up the total amount of their purchases to the next whole dollar at checkout. 100% of the money collected went directly to supporting the individuals served and programs and services provided by BFAIR.

Instrumental in the partnership, BFAIR’s Fundraising & Grants Manager, Tara Jacobsen said, “We are humbled by the generosity that we received during the Round Up for Change program by the Wild Oats Co-Op and community members. This support will help BFAIR to meet the unique needs of the people we support such as health & wellness, personal safety, technology tools to support more independent lifestyles and accessibility improvements.”
