Can you pull the DART Trailer? 


 
We are looking for a few volunteers with the ability to pull our Disaster Animal Response Team Mobile Equipment Trailer to Deployments and events as needed.  The trailer is located with other Regional Emergency Response Assets in Pittsfield. It has a 2" ball and will require a 10,000 pound hitch. If you or someone you know might be able to help in this important way, please let Corinne know:  cmckeown@wmmrc.org


BERKSHIRE MRC was recently awarded a grant to foster resilience by bringing art opportunities to vulnerable populations. 

The overall goal of this project is to involve volunteers in the effort to increase wellbeing and health outcomes - through creative engagement - for at least 50 individuals.  At the same time the project expects to attract and train new volunteers who want to use the arts to help their neighbors and improve resilience in their communities.  

If you would like to be part of this project, please contact Corinne
HERE
Pssst! You need not believe you have a creative bone in your body! 
There are many ways you can help.
