2025 Annual Fund

An Urgent Appeal: Strengthening Our Foundation

Our continued success relies entirely on your support. A critical service we offer is daily, reliable transportation for participants across Berkshire County. Our two passenger vans handle essential morning and afternoon routes.

The Urgent Need: Our first 12-passenger van, nearing 200,000 miles, must be replaced in 2025 with a new, larger 15-passenger van, costing approximately $60,000. Last year, we raised nearly $40,000! We urgently need your immediate help to raise the additional $20,000 needed to complete the purchase.

Expanding Our Reach: Critical Fortification

We also face anticipated government cutbacks and reduced public funding in 2025-26. This critical work—providing purposeful employment and developing life skills—is more dependent than ever on private support. Your gift today is a dual investment: it secures the new van and fortifies our program’s core, ensuring we maintain services despite public funding reductions.

We urgently need your help to replace our aging EST Van and secure our future!

Thank you for your continued love and generous support!
