Softball Players Donate to Animal Shelter

Community submissionPrint Story | Email Story
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – Recently, a group of players and families with Adams-Cheshire-Savoy Girls Softball paid a visit to No Paws Left Behind animal shelter with a donation of essential pet supplies.
 
League players, families, and the board of directors collected and donated toys, treats, food, and cleaning supplies to present to the No Paws staff and animals. While there, the players were able to meet and interact with some of the animals, and they also learned a bit about the day-to-day operations of the shelter and the fine work the staff does in finding forever homes for the animals they care for.
 
ACS President Lou Moser noted that philanthropic initiatives have always been a cornerstone of the program and that learning the value of teamwork, on and off the field, go hand in hand.
 
Beyond the supplies, the visit provided plenty of smiling faces, and wagging tails.

Adams Community Bank Makes Donations to Local Food Pantries

ADAMS, Mass. — Adams Community Bank (ACB) announced $50,000 in charitable donations to support food pantries across Berkshire County.
 
The funds will be distributed directly to food pantries serving families and individuals in need across the county's cities and towns.

These food pantries play a critical role in ensuring families have access to nutritious food, and we are honored to help them continue this vital work."
 
In conjunction with the donation, every ACB branch is hosting a bank-wide food drive throughout December.
