On Friday we did the official ribbon cutting for our new Pittsfield location! ✂️

We are very excited to watch it grow and continue to meaningfully employ adults with disabilities in the Berkshires. We are also ecstatic to supplying local food to the community as well! 🫑🌽🥬

It was great to have the state and local government officials, families, friends, and community there to support us. The stories they shared were exceptionally inspiring and we cannot wait to continue to collaborate with them in the future. 👏🏻
