If you would like to meet Grace call the Berkshire Humane Society shelter today!

G R AC E Grace is a three-year-old pit bull terrier mix. She came to Berkshire Humane Society on a transport from Mississippi. Grace is a sweet, exuberant girl who needs someone to help train her and direct her youthful energy. She’s smart and absolutely loves people, so she is trainable for a patient person.

Grace gets along with other playful dogs. Because of her energy and a bit of a prey drive, she would do best in a home without small children or cats.

Berkshire Humane Society is open by appointment.

SHOPPER’S GUIDE ISSUE OF JANUARY 6, 2021 • FIRST SECTION

AD DEADLINE — 11:00 AM FRIDAYS!

The People’s Pantry says THANK YOU to the en�re South Berkshire community for the tremendous support provided through this most difficult year.

The challenges of 2020 have been great but they have been met by enthusias�c, imagina�ve, and amazingly generous support of all sorts!

Folks have found a hundred different ways to help fund the pantry from lemonade stands and bo�le returns, cookie and bread sales, to neighborhood food drives, subs�tute holiday gi�s, and commitments to ongoing financial support.

Our volunteers have stepped up to distribute more healthy food to more hungry people.

Our local farmers, food vendors, restaurants, and delivery drivers have enabled us to feed our neighbors well.

Our local businesses, community and religious organiza�ons, and many, many individuals have pitched in and made it work.

Because of you The People’s Pantry remains open, and will con�nue into 2021 and beyond, providing healthy food for our friends and neighbors in need.
