A cold storage facility will act as a depot for local farmers to deliver meat, dairy, eggs and produce to a central location where it will be aggregated, stored, and delivered to participating food distribution organization partners in North Adams, Adams, Williamstown and surrounding towns.
The Helpful Hands crowdfunding campaign aims to raise $10,000, allowing Berkshire Bounty to purchase and deliver fresh produce, dairy, and eggs for two weeks to at least six Berkshire County emergency food sites that would otherwise not be able to serve the community.
