PITTSFIELD, Mass. – Goodwill Industries of the Berkshires and Southern Vermont announces that it has received a $1,500 grant from Fallon Health for the nonprofit’s continued work in fighting food insecurity in the Berkshires.

According to Vice President, Executive Affairs and Territory Expansion Maryam Kamangar, “We appreciate Fallon Health’s grant supporting Goodwill trucks and drivers who bring fresh fruit and vegetables, dairy products, frozen meals, meat and nonperishable food to those most in need in our community.”
