BFAIR Selected as Big Y Community Bag Program Beneficiary

NORTH ADAMS — BFAIR has been selected as a beneficiary of the Big Y Community Bag Program for May.

The Big Y Community Bag Program makes it easy for shoppers to support their communities and environment by buying durable, reusable shopping bags. Donations from this program support groups focused on education, civic programs, health and wellness, hunger relief, and military and veterans’ organizations.

BFAIR was selected as the May beneficiary from the Big Y location at 45 Veterans Memorial Dr., North Adams. BFAIR will receive a $1 donation every time the $2.50 reusable community bag is purchased at this location during May.

“To be chosen as the recipient for the Big Y Community Bag Program is an honor,” said Tara Jacobsen, BFAIR’s director of Development. “The funds that we receive from generous donors and businesses support over 400 people with developmental disabilities, autism, and acquired brain injury by promoting independence, creating accessibility, and enhancing program resources. This program helps to further the BFAIR mission throughout the Berkshire County community.”
