PITTSFIELD — Hearthway Inc. invites the community to celebrate the launch of the First, Pittsfield’s new living-room model housing resource center, featuring showers, laundry, kitchen amenities, flexible community space, on-site housing support, and permanent supportive apartments on West Housatonic and First streets. The First is a collaborative initiative led by Hearthway in partnership with ServiceNet, Zion Lutheran Church, Cathedral of the Beloved, and the city of Pittsfield.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 18 at 5:30 p.m. at Zion Lutheran Church, 74 First St., home to both the First and First Street Apartments. The ceremony will include remarks from Secretary Ed Augustus of the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities, Pittsfield Mayor Peter Marchetti, and Erin Forbush, senior director of Shelter and Housing at ServiceNet.

Prior to the ceremony, from 4 to 5:30 p.m., guests are invited to tour three of Hearthway’s newest housing initiatives: the First and First Street Apartments, both located at 74 First St., and West Housatonic Apartments at 111 West Housatonic St.

The development of the First has been made possible through significant support from local partners and donors, led by a $300,000, two-year foundational commitment from Berkshire Health Systems, which has been instrumental in advancing the project. Contributions from Adams Community Bank, Pittsfield Cooperative Bank, Berkshire Bank Foundation, Lee Bank, MOLARI Employment and HealthCare Services, MountainOne Bank, Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation, Greylock Federal Credit Union, and individual donors have further propelled the initiative forward.

The Lee Bank Foundation’s $25,000 grant also represents the largest single donation available to local nonprofits.

This project will provide a welcoming space and a sense of community for anyone who needs it,” said Chuck Leach, president of Lee Bank. “This collaboration reflects the very best of what strong community partnerships can achieve, bringing together nonprofits, government, and private-sector resources to create meaningful change in Pittsfield.”

Together, these contributions have brought the First close to its $600,000 fundraising goal, with nearly $450,000 raised to date, reflecting the community’s shared commitment to expanding housing and homelessness resources in Pittsfield.

SPRINGFIELD — Following a merger with Cain Hibbard & Meyers on Dec. 1, Bulkley Richardson welcomed seven new attorneys to the firm, including five partners and two counsel.

“Integrating seven attorneys into the firm adds tremendous value to some of our strongest practice areas, including litigation, healthcare, business, family law, employment law, and real estate,” said Dan Finnegan, managing partner. “Each attorney brings a unique skillset and decades of experience to the firm, allowing us to continue to provide the highest quality of legal work, but also expand our capabilities and diversify our client base.”

Lucy Prashker, partner, counsels clients on a wide variety of business and intellectual property issues. Much of her practice is devoted to advising clients in the fields of health law, nonprofit law, and general business law, where her clients include artists and writers, manufacturers, emerging technology companies, nonprofit organizations, and healthcare providers.

She has experience in solar projects, representing property owners through drafting and negotiating leases and power purchase agreements for large-scale solar installations.

Dennis LaRochelle, partner, has close to three decades of experience handling complex litigation and has successfully litigated several multi-million-dollar disputes in the Massachusetts federal and state courts, earning a reputation as one of the top trial lawyers in Berkshire County. With proficiency in family law, he regularly represents clients in all aspects of domestic relationships, from divorce and child custody disputes to drafting prenuptial agreements and divorce settlements, as well as guardianships to adoptions, resolving disputes creatively and effectively.

Jennifer Carpenter, partner, is an accomplished litigator, responsible for cases in both state and federal courts.

Jeff O’Connor, partner, is a seasoned litigator, trial lawyer, and strategic counselor. For more than 15 years, he has guided medical and legal professionals, businesses, municipalities, and nonprofit organizations through complex civil litigation, agency proceedings, risk management challenges, and regulatory minefields.

Diane DeGiacomo, counsel, is an experienced trial and domestic relations lawyer. She has defended businesses in employment discrimination complaints statewide before the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination and the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission, and has tried civil cases in federal court, superior court, and probate court regularly.

Susan Herman, counsel, has more than 40 years of trial and appellate experience in both the public and private sectors. She spent much of her career with the Maine Office of the Attorney General, where she advised state agencies and represented the state of Maine in state and federal court on a variety of civil matters. In 2015, she was named division chief for the Civil Litigation Division of the Maine Attorney General’s Office, handling constitutional challenges to state laws and rules, civil rights cases, tort claims, civil appeals, amicus, and multi-state litigation.

In 2019, the attorney general named Herman chief deputy for the office, where she worked closely with the attorney general on high-priority and sensitive matters relating to client state agencies, the Governor’s Office, the Legislature, and members of the public. Four years later, she was nominated by Maine’s governor to serve as a member of Maine’s Civil Service Appeals Board, which was confirmed by the Maine Senate, and the governor appointed her chair of the board.

Country Bank Donates $160,000 to Support Local Seniors

WARE — In response to the increasing needs of local families and seniors affected by the recent government shutdown, Country Bank announced donations of $160,000 to support food insecurity programs across Central and Western Mass. As the bank kicks off its annual “Season of Difference” campaign, it is donating an additional $25,000 to both the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts and the Worcester County Food Bank. Earlier this year, each of these food banks received $100,000 as part of a $1 million pledge. Additionally, another $55,000 is being donated to local food pantries and $55,000 to senior centers throughout the region. The “Season of Difference” campaign highlights Country Bank’s long-standing dedication to strengthening local communities through financial support, volunteer efforts, and compassionate leadership. Each year, the bank donates more than $800,000 to nonprofits that focus on food insecurity, education, housing, and community well-being.

 

PeoplesBank Increases Funding to Address Food Insecurity

HOLYOKE — PeoplesBank announced it will immediately increase funding to regional food banks, survival centers, and food pantries to address the growing issue of food scarcity, donating an additional $100,000 to organizations the bank has already supported this year. The bank’s executive leadership team, as well as associates throughout the bank, believed that a response to SNAP benefit disruptions and the pressures they are causing on food banks, pantries, and families warranted additional financial assistance. PeoplesBank has already begun to distribute grants of $5,000 to $10,000 to the following organizations: the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts, Connecticut Foodshare, the Care Center of Holyoke, Martin Luther King, Jr. Family Services, Rachel’s Table, Amherst Survival Center, Northampton Survival Center, Lorraine’s Soup Kitchen, Neighbors Helping Neighbors, Providence Ministries – Margaret’s Table, Salvation Army of Holyoke, Family Outreach of Amherst, Gifts of Love, Midwest Food Bank – New England Division, Hands on Hartford, Hartford Interval House, Jewish Federation of Greater Hartford, and Friend to Friend Food Pantry. Over the past year, PeoplesBank has made donations totaling $1.8 million in Massachusetts and Connecticut, and $5 million over the last three years. The bank’s associates and board members contributed matching gifts of $55,750 in addition to the 8,500 volunteer hours they contributed to the community.

 

Forbes Again Names Big Y Among Best-In-State Employers

SPRINGFIELD — For the seventh year in a row, Big Y has been recognized as a Forbes Best-In-State Employer in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Honorees have been identified through a survey from a vast sample of more than 160,000 U.S. employees working for companies employing at least 500 people within the U.S. More than 2 million employer evaluations were considered. Employers have neither the knowledge of which employees are polled nor the ability to influence the results in any way. Employees are also asked to give their opinions on a series of statements surrounding work-related topics such as compensation, working conditions, potential for development, and overall company image. Big Y places a strong emphasis on elevating the employee experience by prioritizing flexibility, meaningful recognition, work/life balance, and cultivating a culture rooted in care and inclusion, the company stated.

HOLYOKE — The Connection, the official magazine of Holyoke Community College (HCC), received a first-place gold Medallion Award at the fall 2025 District 1 conference of the National Council for Marketing & Public Relations. The spring 2025 edition of the Connection took the top spot in the category of large-scale magazine, for publications of more than 16 pages. In addition to its usual campus news, alumni briefs, and class notes, the spring 2025 issue includes a cover story about the opening of HCC’s Marieb Adult Learner Success Center and Parent Learning Center (“A Family Affair”); a profile of late alum JoAnne Wrobel, who launched a free food cart for students that grew into the Thrive Center and Food Pantry, which now feeds hundreds of HCC students every year (“A Silent Hero”); and a feature story about HCC alum Brandon Towle of Westfield, who founded the first sleepaway camp in New England for stuttering youth (“Freedom to Speak”). “Freedom to Speak,” written by the magazine’s editor-in-chief, Chris Yurko, received a second-place silver Medallion Award in the category of long-form writing (stories of more than 800 words). The magazine is designed by John Devanski, owner of Guy With Glasses Design in Ware. The Connection is a 36-page magazine published two times a year by the HCC office of Marketing and Communications and distributed free to alumni, students, and friends of the college.

 

Springfield Empowerment Zone Partnership Wins Award

SPRINGFIELD — The Springfield Empowerment Zone Partnership (SEZP) was named the 2025 recipient of the Teacher Powered Schools Partnership Award, presented last month at the annual Teacher Powered Schools Conference in Ypsilanti, Mich. The national award honors partnerships between schools, districts, and teachers’ unions that exemplify the power of collaboration and shared leadership to empower educators, students, and families. Since its founding in 2015, SEZP has forged a groundbreaking partnership with the Springfield Education Assoc. (SEA) that reimagines what is possible when educators are trusted to lead. Through a series of teacher contracts — with the latest ratified by 93% of union members this past June — teachers have gained expanded decision-making power in critical areas such as working conditions, curriculum, and school design, while also receiving higher compensation than their district peers for the additional time dedicated to teacher collaboration and leadership. Central to this success are SEZP’s teacher leadership teams, school-based groups that ensure teachers have a formal, consistent voice in decisions that shape instruction, culture, and operations. Together, SEZP and the SEA have created a model of shared leadership that continues to attract national attention for its ability to combine teacher empowerment with improved outcomes for students.

 

Thunderbirds, Wellpoint Brick Back First Line Program

SPRINGFIELD — The Springfield Thunderbirds, Wellpoint, and community partners are teaming up to connect local students and public safety officials through the return of the First Line Program. The initiative, sponsored by Wellpoint and revived from the 2017-18 season, pairs Springfield Public Schools students with Springfield and Hampden County public safety officials for an unforgettable night of hockey, mentorship, and community pride. Seven students and teachers from Kiley Prep Middle School attended the program kickoff at the Nov. 7 Thunderbirds game, where each student was paired with a Springfield police officer, firefighter, or corrections officer from the Hampden County Sheriff’s Office. The event celebrated community connection, with participants enjoying food, conversation, and hometown pride as they watched the Thunderbirds face the Bridgeport Islanders. The First Line Program will continue throughout the Thunderbirds’ 2025-26 season, with students and educators from schools across Springfield joining in future games.

Chicopee Chamber of Commerce Announces 2026 Shining Stars Recipients

By
Daily News

CHICOPEE — The Chicopee Chamber of Commerce announced the recipients of its 2026 Shining Stars, recognizing individuals whose exceptional contributions strengthen and inspire their community. This year’s honorees are Al Picard as the Ernest Laflamme Jr. Citizen of the Year, HB Real Estate as Business of the Year, Lorraine’s Soup Kitchen & Pantry as Nonprofit of the Year, and Heather Leclerc at Volunteer of the Year.

For decades, Picard has embodied what it means to serve one’s community with heart, consistency, and unwavering commitment. Professionally, he devoted 40 years as an educator with Chicopee Public Schools. As a volunteer leader, he has volunteered for more than 20 years at Lorraine’s Soup Kitchen & Pantry, including service as board president, and eight years with the Friends of the RiverMills Center, where he also served as president. Additionally, he has served on the Chicopee Veterans’ Services office board, the charter review board, and the board of directors for the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.

Founded in 2021, HB Real Estate has quickly become one of Chicopee’s standout real estate brokerages. Since opening with 12 agents, the firm has expanded to 31 agents across offices in Chicopee and Wilbraham. Known for its highly personalized, relationship-driven approach, HB Real Estate is also deeply community-minded, supporting local nonprofits including Kane’s Krusade, the Chicopee Queer Consortium, Alianza DV Services, Rick’s Place, and Lorraine’s Soup Kitchen & Pantry. The firm frequently hosts and participates in local events, such as its upcoming Holiday Author Stroll benefiting the Bellamy House Assoc.

Serving Chicopee since 1980, Lorraine’s Soup Kitchen & Pantry has been a lifeline for residents facing food insecurity. What began as a small volunteer-led effort offering peanut butter and jelly sandwiches has grown into a vital community institution providing hot meals, groceries, and essential services to thousands of families each year. The organization offers year-round meal service, a robust food pantry, holiday programs, monthly health clinics, and social service referrals. In 2021, it expanded its reach by launching a mobile pantry with weekly neighborhood stops. Under Executive Director Kim Caisse, a long-time volunteer and community advocate, Lorraine’s has strengthened its presence and partnerships across Chicopee.

For years, Leclerc has been one of the chamber’s most reliable, energetic, and enthusiastic volunteers. A longtime member of the Shining Stars events committee, she has played a key role in shaping and elevating one of the chamber’s most celebrated annual traditions. In 2023, when the chamber revived its member relations committee, LeClerc stepped up as chair, bringing new energy, structure, and community-minded leadership to the group. Under her guidance, the committee has become a vital connection point for member engagement, support, and outreach.

The 41st annual Shining Stars Gala takes place Friday, Feb. 27 from 6 to 10:30 p.m. at the Castle of Knights on Memorial Drive. Tickets cost $75 per person and are on sale now. To purchase tickets or inquire about sponsorships, visit www.chicopeechamber.org or call the chamber at (413) 594-2101.

MountainOne, Mechanics Receive Regulatory Approvals to Merge Holding Companies

By
Daily News

NORTH ADAMS, TAUNTON — MountainOne Financial, MHC, the mutual holding company parent of MountainOne Bank, and Mechanics Bancorp, MHC, the mutual holding company parent of Mechanics Cooperative Bank, announced that all regulatory approvals required to complete the merger of the two mutual holding companies have been received.

The merger transaction is scheduled to take place on Jan. 1, at which time the newly combined mutual holding company will operate under the name MountainOne Financial, MHC, and will have approximately $1.9 billion in assets.

MountainOne Bank and Mechanics Cooperative Bank will continue to operate as two separate, independently chartered community banks, and will each retain their existing names, headquarters locations, leadership teams, and boards of directors. Furthermore, customers will not experience any disruption, nor do they need to take any action.

Bringing together two well-capitalized, financially sound organizations allows the newly combined mutual holding company to take their time in evaluating opportunities to collaborate where doing so strengthens service, enhances operational efficiency, or supports long-term sustainability.

Upon completion of the merger, Robert Fraser will serve as chairman, and Joseph Baptista Jr. will be president and CEO, of the combined mutual holding company, MountainOne Financial, MHC. Fraser will continue in his role as president and CEO of MountainOne Bank, and Baptista will also remain as president and CEO of Mechanics Cooperative Bank. There are no staff reductions associated with the merger.

“This merger is a strong step for both organizations,” Fraser said. “It reflects shared priorities and a clear focus on bringing long-term value to our customers and community. We are proud of the work that brought us here and confident in the direction ahead. Our customers, employees, and communities remain at the center of our decisions.”

Baptista added that “we are excited to move forward together. This merger positions us to grow, invest, and serve with even greater impact. Our teams are energized by our shared vision, and we are looking forward to the opportunities it creates for our customers and communities.

“MountainOne Financial, MHC will carry on each legacy organizations’ commitment to mutuality, which places its customers and communities at the center of organizational decision making,” he added. “MountainOne Bank and Mechanics Cooperative Bank each have deep roots in their respective communities and have prioritized an ongoing commitment to remain local, accessible, and engaged.”

FinPro Capital Advisor, Inc. served as the financial advisor to MountainOne Financial, MHC, and Piper Sandler & Co. served as the financial advisor to Mechanics Bancorp, MHC. Luse Gorman, P.C. served as legal counsel to MountainOne Financial, MHC, and Nutter McClennen & Fish LLP served as legal counsel to Mechanics Bancorp, MHC.

Stuff the Bus Event to Gather Toys, Funds for Families in Local Homeless Shelters

By
Daily News

SPRINGFIELD — Way Finders is teaming up with First Student, Springfield’s school bus transportation company, for a Stuff the Bus toy and fundraising drive on Saturday, Dec. 6 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Boston Road Walmart in Springfield.

“Children and families deserve joyful holidays, but that can be challenging when living in shelter. Money is tight. You don’t have your own place,” said Megan Pete, director of Development at Way Finders. “Our goal is to make the holidays a little brighter for the hundreds of families in our shelters this year.”

Stuff the Bus accepts new, unwrapped toys for children from newborn through age 13. It accepts donations of funds or gift cards for teenagers.

Stuff the Bus was inspired by Takira Williams, a bus driver for the Springfield Public Schools. After seeing a post from Way Finders asking people to sign up for its toy drive, she had an even bigger idea — why not host a Stuff the Bus event? She brought the idea to her manager at First Student, and the company agreed to provide the bus and support this event.

All are invited to stop by and bring a new, unwrapped toy to donate. Way Finders will distribute toys to families in their shelters in time for the holidays.

Tech Foundry Announces Fundraising Campaign to Offset Federal Funding Cuts

By
Daily News

SPRINGFIELD — Tech Foundry, the regional leader in IT workforce development, training, and digital literacy, announced its 2025 end-of-year fundraising campaign, titled Western MA Forward.

In May, Tech Foundry learned that federal funding for its Tech Hub in Holyoke, which offers free computer skills classes, device distribution, and help desk services, had been slashed by the Trump administration. Since then, the Hub has been forced to cut services from 40 hours per week to six hours per week, significantly reducing the number of individuals and community partners it can serve.

The campaign seeks to raise $50,000 by Dec. 31 so that Tech Foundry can rebuild Tech Hub Holyoke’s capacity to serve more residents and expand services to neighboring communities.

“Digital literacy fuels our economy, and without federal funding, we’re looking to our community to help fill the gaps,” said Tricia Canavan, CEO of Tech Foundry. “We’re serving a fraction of the neighbors we once reached. But with your help, we can restore our operations for the people who need us every month. Thank you to our supporters who have already joined our campaign — and for those who have partnered with Tech Foundry during the 10-plus years we’ve been serving our region.”

Massachusetts High Technology Council Issues Challenge to Competitiveness Council

By
Daily News

BOSTON — As Gov. Maura Healey’s Competitiveness Council convenes for its inaugural meeting, the Massachusetts High Technology Council urges it to focus immediately on reforms that will reduce the cost of creating, operating, and expanding businesses in the Commonwealth. Two newly published reports — one on population shifts away from high-tax states, and the other on corporate relocations from Massachusetts — make clear that the state’s competitiveness is at stake.

According to a Nov. 25 report by the National Taxpayers Union Foundation, Massachusetts is losing residents at one of the fastest rates in the nation: on net, a taxpayer leaves the Commonwealth every 11 minutes and 38 seconds. The report highlights a broader nationwide trend: individuals and businesses increasingly relocate from high-tax, high-cost states toward states with lower burdens — such as Florida, Texas, and North Carolina — where fiscal policy is more business-friendly.

That trend isn’t hypothetical. A Dec. 2 article in the Boston Business Journal reports that several Massachusetts-based companies — including key players in technology and manufacturing — are relocating or already have relocated operations to neighboring states, including New Hampshire, citing lower costs and a more favorable business environment. The exodus of companies underscores how eroding competitiveness is translating directly into lost jobs and lost economic activity in Massachusetts.

These data points, the Massachusetts High Technology Council argues, cannot be ignored, and demonstrate that Massachusetts risks losing both its workforce and its employers — especially in high-growth sectors — unless state policymakers act swiftly to recalibrate the business climate.

The High Technology Council urges the Competitiveness Council to prioritize three key reforms:

• Tax and regulatory relief, including reviewing state and local tax burdens (including employer assessments like UI), streamlining permitting, and eliminating redundant licensing or regulatory hurdles that add to business costs;

• Incentives for business growth and retention, such as incentives or credits for firms that stay and expand operations in Massachusetts, and support for capital investment and innovation; and

• Competitive cost-of-living and infrastructure policies, which include addressing housing, transportation, and energy costs that influence worker and business decisions about where to locate or expand.

“It’s time to stop treating high taxes and overregulation as immutable,” Massachusetts High Technology Council President Christopher Anderson said. “These reports make it unmistakably clear: talent, companies, and capital are mobile — and they’re voting with their feet. If Massachusetts wants to keep and attract the businesses driving innovation, growth, and high-paying jobs, the time to act is now.”

The High Technology Council looks forward to working with the Competitiveness Council, the Healey administration, and the Legislature to implement pro-growth reforms that strengthen Massachusetts’ competitiveness and position the Commonwealth as a magnet for investment, innovation, and opportunity.

Eversource Shares Holiday Efficiency, Safety Tips

By
Daily News

BOSTON — As homes and neighborhoods across Massachusetts light up for the holidays, Eversource is sharing simple ways customers can create a festive atmosphere while managing energy use, saving money and staying safe throughout the season.

“From holiday lights and family gatherings to extra time spent cooking, this is a busy and joyful time of year,” Eversource Energy Efficiency Manager Bill Stack said. “We want our customers to enjoy every bit of it without worrying about higher energy use or safety risks. A few easy steps — like using LEDs, setting timers, and being mindful of how and when appliances are used — can help reduce energy usage, make bills more manageable, and keep celebrations safe.”

Customers can reduce energy use by switching from older incandescent holiday lights to LED decorations, which use up to 90% less energy, last significantly longer, stay cooler, and reduce the risk of fire. Using programmable timers ensures lights aren’t left on all night, while advanced power strips can eliminate standby energy loss, particularly helpful for inflatables, some of which can add up to $12 per month to an energy bill.

Safety is an equally important part of holiday decorating. Eversource reminds customers to inspect all lights and extension cords before use and to discard any with cracked sockets, frayed wires, or loose connections. When decorating outdoors, customers should always look up and stay far away from power lines, never raise ladders or lift objects near overhead wires, and ensure that any lights used outside are clearly labeled for outdoor use. Extension cords should never be placed under rugs or tightly coiled, as they can overheat, and outdoor decorations should always be plugged into GFCI outlets, with cords kept off the ground and away from moisture.

Hosting and cooking for the holidays can also increase energy use, but small changes can help. Lowering the thermostat before guests arrive can make homes more comfortable when combined with body heat and oven warmth. Customers can save even more by waiting until the dishwasher is full before running it, air drying dishes when possible, covering pots and pans while cooking, and choosing smaller appliances like toaster or convection ovens, which use significantly less energy than a full-size oven.

BrightBridge Credit Union, Arrha Credit Union Members Approve Merger

By
Daily News

LAWRENCE, SPRINGFIELD — The members of BrightBridge Credit Union and Arrha Credit Union voted in favor of merging the two financial organizations this week, following separate member votes at each organization’s corporate headquarters. BrightBridge will be the continuing credit union, with Arrha changing its name to Arrha Credit Union, a Division of BrightBridge Credit Union.

The newly merged credit union will have 23 retail branches, combined assets of nearly $2.4 billion, and approximately 125,000 members. The merger will combine the resources, expertise, and values of two long-standing and like-minded credit unions.

“Our member vote marks an exciting new chapter for both BrightBridge and Arrha members,” BrightBridge President and CEO John Howard said. “By combining our strengths, we are building a stronger credit union that remains deeply committed to delivering exceptional service, expanding access to competitive financial products and investing in the communities we proudly serve. We are thrilled to bring our two credit unions together and create one big family.”

The merger is expected to be finalized on Jan. 1, 2026, pending regulatory approval. Built on a shared commitment to outstanding service, competitive financial solutions, and meaningful community engagement, this partnership allows BrightBridge to broaden its reach, now serving members in Massachusetts’ Hampden, Hampshire and Franklin counties, as well as Hartford and Tolland counties in Connecticut.

“This partnership will create more value and opportunity for both our staff and members, and for that we are so grateful to have cleared this hurdle,” Arrha President and CEO Mike Ostrowski said. “Arrha and BrightBridge share a long history of putting people first, and this next step will allow us to offer even greater convenience, resources, and financial strength to our communities. I’m proud of what Arrha has built, and I’m equally proud to see that legacy continue as part of a unified BrightBridge Credit Union.”

In 2019, 2020, 2023, and 2025, BrightBridge completed successful mergers with Bridgewater Credit Union, Ocean Spray Employees Federal Credit Union, RTN Federal Credit Union, and Cabot Boston Credit Union, respectively. For more information about the proposed merger between BrightBridge and Arrha, visit www.brightbridge.com/merger.

Resilient Valley Coalition Launches Match My DAF Campaign to Unlock Funds

By
Daily News

WESTERN MASS. — After months of community conversation, donor feedback, and collaborative planning, the Resilient Valley Coalition launched its Match My DAF campaign. The initiative will unlock donor-advised funds (DAFs) and matching gifts to bring resources to local nonprofits facing steep federal funding cuts.

Nationally, more than $251 billion is currently sitting in donor-advised funds. These charitable investment accounts let individuals set aside cash, stocks, and other financial gifts for future charitable giving. Resilient Valley, a growing coalition of nonprofits working in farming, conservation, food security, health, and environmental justice, is urging donors that now is the time to put these charitable dollars to good use.

“When the coalition nonprofits came together earlier in the year, many of our budgets had been gutted overnight, and the ripple effects were only beginning,” said Lora Wondolowski, director of Advancement & Communications at the Peace Development Fund. “We knew we couldn’t face this crisis in isolation. Match My DAF is a way for everyone to come together — DAF owners, businesses, individuals, and nonprofits — to move resources now, when they can have the greatest impact.”

To participate in Match My DAF, DAF holders pledge to give at least 10% more than they distributed last year, directing those gifts to nonprofits serving the communities of the three Western Mass. counties. Gifts made between now and May 1, 2026, can be nominated for a dollar-for-dollar match, up to $5,000 per grant. The match awards will be selected through two lottery rounds scheduled for Feb. 2 and May 2, 2026.

The coalition welcomes businesses and individuals without DAFs to participate by contributing directly to the matching fund, which enables local donors’ DAF gifts to be doubled. Nonprofits throughout the region are invited to spread the word among their supporters and encourage DAF holders to nominate grants for the chance to receive matching dollars.

Northampton resident, businessman, and philanthropist Al Griggs has stepped forward to support the campaign. “I’m supporting Match My DAF because our community needs bold, collective action,” he said. “If you have the ability to give, whether through a DAF or directly to the match fund, I encourage you to join me.”

Since its formation earlier this year, Resilient Valley has united organizations that collectively serve tens of thousands of Western Mass. residents. The coalition includes All Farmers, Amherst Survival Center, Cancer Connection, Center for EcoTechnology, Community Involved in Sustaining Agriculture, Grow Food Northampton, Hilltown Land Trust, Hitchcock Center for the Environment, Kestrel Land Trust, Northampton Survival Center, Nuestras Raíces, Peace Development Fund, and Stone Soup Café. While these organizations have organized the campaign, any nonprofit in the Pioneer Valley that conforms to the campaign criteria is eligible for a match.

“The Match My DAF campaign is a powerful way to strengthen the nonprofits that hold our communities up,” Wondolowski said. “Let’s work together to protect the vision of a just, sustainable, and resilient future for our region.”

To learn more about the Match My DAF campaign — including how to pledge, contribute to the matching pool, or nominate a DAF grant for a potential match — visit resilientvalleyma.org.

Hot Plate Launches Loyalty Program That Rewards Participation, Not Purchases

By
Daily News

PITTSFIELD — Hot Plate Brewing Co., the award-winning, Latina-owned craft brewery known for its community-driven ethos, announced the launch of the Scrum, a first-of-its-kind loyalty program inspired by Agile software development. Instead of a traditional mug club built around spending, the Scrum invites guests to become ‘community developers’ who earn points through participation, engagement, and showing up.

Borrowing from the Agile methodology of collaborative ‘sprints,’ the Scrum transforms everyday taproom experiences into opportunities to contribute to the revitalization of downtown Pittsfield. Members earn points for attending events, checking in during visits, taking part in special releases, supporting local businesses and artists, and helping shape the experience of the taproom. Points can then be redeemed for rewards ranging from exclusive merch to special access to exclusive beers, private events, and more.

“The Scrum reflects who we are as a company — collaborative, creative, and committed to building community,” Hot Plate co-founder and General Manager Mike Dell’Aquila said. “We wanted a program that celebrates participation, connection, and the people who make our taproom such a dynamic place.”

The Scrum is now open for signups. More information is available at www.hotplatebeer.com/the-scrum.

The instructors will explain what signals AI systems prioritize when surfacing credible and trustworthy businesses and how to position a brand to drive potential sales.

The session moves from principles to action. Attendees will see examples of content structures that improve clarity and consistency for AI systems. They will learn a repeatable checklist for mapping entities, organizing headings, tightening internal links, and adding schema that supports product and service discovery. The goal is to help teams create content that is easy for AI to understand and easy for buyers to choose.

“AI search is how buyers discover and decide today. Our goal is to give teams a practical path they can use tomorrow,” said Nick Stamoulis, president of Brick Marketing. “SEO for AI helps you structure pages, entities, and schema so AI understands and recommends your brand.”

By the end of the program, attendees will leave with a clear framework for brand clarity, structured messaging, and data-driven consistency. They will understand how to apply agility and focus to core pages and how to strengthen content foundations that convert interest into loyal customers.

Registration is free, and seats are limited. Reserve a spot at www.brickmarketing.com/webinars.

The general public is also invited to attend this breakfast event, “Shaping the Future: A Community Conversation,” from 7:30 to 10 a.m. in the PeoplesBank Conference Room (301/303) in the Kittredge Center for Business and Workforce Development, on the main HCC campus, 303 Homestead Ave.

“We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we work to ensure meaningful community engagement while prioritizing everyone’s safety,” HCC President George Timmons said. “Your voice matters deeply in this process, and we look forward to the conversation.”

The panelists include Megan Burke, president of the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts; Anne Kandilis, director of Springfield WORKS; Frank Martínez López, executive director of Enlace de Familias; Jason Pacheco, director of Workforce Planning and Analytics at Baystate Health; Javier Reyes, chancellor of UMass Amherst; and Aaron Vega, director of the Office of Planning and Economic Development for the city of Holyoke and incoming president and CEO of the Western Massachusetts Economic Development Council.

Among the other attendees will be state Rep. Pat Duffy; John Reiff, director of Civic Learning and Engagement with the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education; and representatives from MassHire Holyoke, Way Finders, Holyoke Health Center, Tech Foundry, Holyoke Public Schools, Dean Tech, Nuestras Raices, and the Public Health Institute of Western Massachusetts.

HCC President George Timmons will kick off the event and set the stage for this community conversation. A question-and-answer session will follow the panel discussion.

“At Holyoke Community College, student success is a community effort,” Timmons said. “When our students thrive — when they graduate, transfer, gain new skills, launch careers, and become leaders — our entire region benefits. These leaders, our education partners, and others will share perspectives on the opportunities and challenges facing our community, sparking table conversations that will inform how we write the next chapter for HCC — and for our region.”

The event is part of “SP 3.0,” the third iteration of the college’s strategic planning process, which began with the start of the fall semester. The college drafted its first strategic plan in 2018. That plan was refreshed in 2021. So far, emerging priorities for Strategic Plan 3.0 include collaboration and partnerships, as well as workforce and post-graduation success.

“Together, we’ve achieved many of the ambitious goals of our previous strategic plans, creating pathways and opportunities that have transformed lives and strengthened our community,” Timmons said. “Strategic Plan 3.0 is the next chapter in that shared work, and we need to hear as many voices as possible to help us chart the course ahead.”

SPRINGFIELD — The Sullivan family presented a donation of $38,820.68 to Baystate Health’s D’Amour Center for Cancer Care in Springfield on Nov. 25. The funds represent the combined proceeds from the sixth annual Jessy’s Fight Golf Tournament, held at the Country Club of Wilbraham, and Cloud 9 Marketing Group’s 10-year anniversary fundraiser.

Since 2017, Jessy’s Fight has raised money to support patients and families affected by cancer throughout Western Mass. What began as a personal battle has grown into a major community effort driven by family, friends, local businesses, and supporters across the region.

Cancer affects every family in some way, and Jessy’s Fight was created by the Sullivan family to uplift those facing the unexpected challenges of treatment, recovery, and support. The family has chosen the week of Thanksgiving each year to present their annual donation. For them, this week represents gratitude, reflection, and the start of a holiday season focused on helping others.

This year’s golf tournament was originally rained out and forced to be rescheduled, yet every golfer, sponsor, and supporter returned on the rain date. According to the Sullivan family, the overwhelming participation demonstrated the strength of the mission and the dedication of the community behind it.

The donation was presented by John and Jessica Sullivan, their daughters, Willow and Autumn, and Dylan Pilon of Cloud 9 Marketing Group.

Jessy’s Fight hopes to bring joy and reassurance to those who feel lost and alone. Jessy has been cancer-free eight years and counting.
