The annual Holiday Walk signals the beginning of the winter holiday season in Williamstown.  In lieu of our annual Penny Social, the Williamstown Community Chest will sponsor a Photo Booth and Food Pantry Collection on Saturday, December 4, 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. on the porch at 84 Spring Street.

Donate a non-perishable festive food item (cake mix, brownie mix, dried fruits and nuts, frosting, fine chocolate) to benefit our local food pantries and take a selfie with holiday props.

In addition, our downtown businesses will be collecting necessary items in December to help our Berkshire communities-in-need.  Support local shops AND pay it forward:

DECEMBER 4-10:   NON-PERISHABLE FESTIVE FOOD DRIVE!
Please donate cake, brownie and cookie mixes, frosting, baking supplies, and dried fruits to benefit local food pantries.

DECEMBER 11-17:   CHILDREN & TEENS GIFT DRIVE!
Please donate NEW unwrapped toys, crafts, books, and games to benefit local families.

DECEMBER 18-24:  WINTER CLOTHES DRIVE!
