care where you live
When it comes to giving our time and support in meaningful ways, we have always believed in thinking locally. To that end, Jane and the employees at our headquarters in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts actively engage in community service. Members of our staff serve on the Boards of area nonprofits and volunteer with Berkshire organizations that support people in need.
The company also sponsors local cultural arts and agricultural organizations to help grow and sustain the Berkshire economy. In addition, Jane’s pledge to give back by doing good has inspired our employees to donate to community organizations and initiatives in lieu of exchanging holiday gifts with each other. Here’s a partial list of where we’ve given our support:
