‘SPONSOR’ A SHARE OF VEGGIES

Heart & Soil Collective is a Berkshire County nonprofit that feeds people, supports farms, and connects the community through agriculture. Since 2021 we have paid farmers $60,830, delivered 3,529 bags of free veggies and 600 gallons of soup directly to seniors and families. Each year we work to expand the number of people and communities we serve, purchasing from more local farms, delivering to more homes and engaging more people in agriculture. The need for access to fresh food is growing across the Berkshires, and so are we!

“I feel literally healthier– mentally and physically this week just from your beautiful gifts.”

To get there- we need your help

Heart & Soil Collective is seeking sponsorships from businesses who want to support local food programming in their communities with a fresh veggie or soup share this year!

Our Community Produce and Soup Programs serve seniors, families and small farms across Berkshire County

  • We deliver free, fresh produce purchased from local farms and soups made with local ingredients directly to homes across the Berkshires.
  • We pay our partner farms full price for produce, because farmers need to be paid.
  • We deliver to seniors through partnerships with Councils on Aging.
  • Collaboration with seeing rainbows allows us to provide free, local food to members of the transgender community.
  • Through Pediatric Palliative Care of Hospice Care in the Berkshires we provide free, fresh produce and soup to families receiving their services.

Your dollars have a BIG impact.

$600 provides free, fresh produce directly to a family for twelve weeks, $1,200 provides free produce and soup to a senior for the season.

  • Pays farmers for their produce, creating new revenue streams
  • Decreases food waste
  • Keeps small farm businesses viable
  • Builds community across Berkshire County

“This is a needed program. I do not drive & sometimes it is difficult to get to the store. My door delivery is so good & I can depend on it. Thank you.” -Maryellen, program participant
