BFAIR Receives Grant Towards Can Counter Machine

Thank you, Beacon Bank (Berkshire Bank) Foundation! 


We are thrilled to share that BFAIR has received a generous grant to partially support the purchase of a new can-counting machine for our Bottle & Can Redemption Center. This upgrade will improve efficiency, enhance the customer experience, and support meaningful employment opportunities for the individuals we serve. 


We are deeply grateful for the Foundation’s continued investment in strengthening our community.
