Our Events
Workplace giving—employees pledging through payroll deductions—has historically been the foundation of United Way fundraising. In Northern Berkshire County, however, a smaller employer base limits the reach of these traditional style campaigns.
To sustain the vital safety‑net services in our community, Northern Berkshire United Way relies heavily on signature fundraising events. You can make a difference by attending, sharing our mission with others, or contributing online if you are unable to join us.
United in Converstaion
Real Stories. Real Impact.
Are you passionate about making a difference? Do you want to build bridges of understanding? We invite you to our second series of new community conversations to listen, learn, and share. Hear from organizations and experts working to address real issues impacting our neighbors, such as food insecurity, disabilities, and redlining and racism, right here in Berkshire County. Held in welcoming spaces, we encourage open and meaningful dialogue. Co-presented by Northern Berkshire United Way and Berkshire United Way, these conversations are FREE and all are welcome. You may preregister; see button below.
