Community Spotlight:  BFAIR Gives Back to North Adams Veterans

We’re proud to share that throughout August, BFAIR’s Community-Based Day Support (CBDS) program rallied clients and staff to participate in a heartfelt donation drive. Thanks to everyone’s generosity, we filled the back of a van with hygiene items, non-perishable foods, towels, and more—and personally delivered them to the Veterans Services Office at City Hall in North Adams! 

 

Tina Samson, the office’s administrative assistant, shared, “I am totally overwhelmed… BFAIR... this is always needed. 100 percent.” Kris Neep, CBDS director, rallied the whole BFAIR community by responding to a call for help she saw on Facebook. The result was an outpouring of kindness that speaks volumes about our community spirit.
