The mission of Elder Services of Berkshire County, Inc. is to provide Berkshire elders, caregivers, and individuals with disabilities the opportunity to live with dignity, independence, and self-determination, and to achieve the highest possible quality of life. Elder Services’ primary funding streams are sometimes insufficient to adequately support our many programs for seniors. We rely upon generous donations from businesses, organizations, and individuals like you to fill in the funding gaps and be able to serve all eligible elders who need our help.

Elder Services is now able to receive cash and noncash gifts such as cars, boats, jewelry, gift cards, electronics, and more!

Please contact iDonate at 1(877)-89-SHARE (877-897-4273) with questions about whether specific donations can be accepted.
