To the editor:
Thank you, Leslee Bassman, for reporting on the needs of Berkshire County elders! We are a large segment of the population and many vulnerable elders (about 1,000) rely on services, like Meals on Wheels, to meet their daily nutritional needs.
Elder Services of Berkshire County relies on federal funding to cover the costs of providing these essential meals and still has a shortfall to cover every year. I encourage readers of The Berkshire Edge to help out with a donation! It will help to build local resilience into this service in the face of uncertainties emanating from D.C.
Click here to donate. You can select Meals on Wheels for your donation or another of the many services of Elder Services. Pease consider asking your friends to help out as well
