When you need help or direction, and you call Elder Services or walk into our office on Church Street in Pittsfield, the very first person you speak to will be not simply a greeter, but a trained, experienced Information and Referral (I&R) specialist.

I&R specialists can answer questions about home care services, public benefits, housing options, transportation, nutrition and much more. After quickly assessing your needs, an I&R specialist can access a large resource database to help connect you with the appropriate information, services and agencies to address your specific issues and concerns.

Our I&R people are your quickest route to the services and information you need. That's why they're right up front. That's why they pick up the phone.

Here's I&R Specialist Kimberley Turbeville Munch at our front desk. She's here to help.

Elder Services has joined with local businesses, non-profits, schools, and houses of worship to take a visible stand against hate by becoming a partner in the Hate Has No Home Here campaign.

The aim is to create a community where everyone can live, work, love, and worship without fear.

The Hate Has No Home Here campaign acts as a public statement that hate speech and actions are not tolerated in our Berkshire community. The initiative encourages individuals and organizations to display signs and engage in conversations that promote inclusivity and respect.

The Jewish Federation of the Berkshires started this campaign to raise awareness about antisemitism and build allyship, but we know that hate has no boundaries. Many marginalized groups are feeling more vulnerable and targeted right now.

This is an opportunity for our community to unite, support one another, and declare together that Hate Has No Home Here.

For more information about the campaign and resources to help fight hate, visit https://www.jewishberkshires.org/hate-has-no-home-here.
