Community Outreach
Foster Care Boutique
A need in the community was identified by Foster Care families to have a “closet” of supplies for families taking in children in North Berkshire County and the nearby states of Vermont and New York, particularly for unanticipated situations where children are suddenly displaced to a new home and without needed items or clothes. Our CBC “closet” name is “Supplies & Support Boutique” for Foster Care and Adoptive Families and it offers all types of supplies, toys, books, toiletries, clothing, shoes, and baby items such as formula, baby food, nursery items and so much more!
Food Bank
