AARP Foundation
AARP Tax-Aide was established in 1968 to help older persons complete their tax returns, a process which can be daunting and costly. The tax laws are complex, and often persons with limited means end up using a significant portion of a refund simply to have their taxes prepared. Trained AARP Tax-Aide volunteers help persons with low and middle income maximize their legal deductions and credits, resulting in tangible economic benefits to them. Our AARP Tax-Aide sites are operational from February 1 through the middle of April. Our site information will be updated and available in January at https://locator.aarp.org/vmis/sites/tax_aide_locator.jsp

Adams Agricultural Fair, Inc
“The Agricultural Fair has been around for 36 years now and is a part of what makes the Berkshires. It gives the participants the opportunity to show off their talents as well as compete whether it is with their animals, crafts, photography or horticultural talents, etc. It brings in folks locally as well as from many different counties and states as participants and visitors. We made the USA Today newspaper last year as a “Top 10 Fair to Visit….Farming and natural resources are becoming an “endangered species” not just in our areas but throughout the state. We want to (continue to) promote agricultural, horticultural and home arts, educate and reach out to visitors to the Berkshires; as well as bring friends and families together to have fun and walk away and feel pride as well, hopefully saying; “I want to come back here or even participate next year.””

Volunteers in Medicine Berkshires
Volunteers in Medicine Berkshires is a volunteer-based community organization of local healthcare professionals and laypersons, supported by a small paid staff. Our volunteers are physicians, nurse practitioners and nurses; dentists, hygienists and dental assistants; optometrists; psychiatrists and therapists; acupuncturists and nutritionists. They are supported by lay volunteers who serve as administrators, office staff, fundraisers and interpreters. Together we provide free healthcare to people between the ages of 19 and 64,living and working in the Berkshire region who are currently uninsured. We offer our patients a modern, well-equipped, fully staffed healthcare facility with medical, dental, optometry and mental health counseling services. Our primary goal, beyond treating episodic events, is to provide ongoing care and bring patients into the healthcare system, while educating them on how to self-manage their health conditions.
