🧡 HELP BFAIR’S DESIGN WIN! 🧡

We’re excited to share that BFAIR’s ABI Residential Program submitted a design for The Caring Force's 2026 T-Shirt Design Contest — and now we need your vote! 👕🎨

The Caring Force, an initiative of the Massachusetts Council of Human Service Providers, brings together human service workers, providers, individuals receiving services, families, and advocates to raise awareness and advocate for the essential work happening across the human services sector.

This year’s contest celebrates an exciting milestone: The Caring Force’s 15th anniversary of its first State House Rally! 🎉

Our ABI Residential Program put their creativity to work to create a design celebrating the Caring Force — and we’d love to see BFAIR represented on the 2026 T-shirt!

👉 Voting is open through October 1st!

🥕 Making a Difference in North Adams! 🥕

Our CBDS program recently participated in the North Adams Mobile Food Bank, helping support our neighbors and connect community members with fresh, nutritious food and essential resources. 💚

It was a wonderful opportunity for our participants to get involved, lend a helping hand, and be active members of their community.

We’re proud to see our participants building connections, giving back, and making a positive impact right here in our community! 💙💚

A big thank you to everyone who makes the North Adams Mobile Food Bank possible, and to our CBDS participants and staff for being part of this meaningful community experience!

🚲 Pedaling into Possibilities! 🚲.

Our CBDS program had a fantastic time enjoying adaptive cycling! Participants had the opportunity to get outside, stay active, and experience the joy of riding in a way that works for them. 💚

From trying something new to enjoying time together in the community, it was a great day filled with movement, smiles, and fun! 🌟

We love seeing our participants explore new activities, build confidence, and enjoy meaningful community experiences. 💙💚

Thank you All Out Adventures!

BFAIR’s CBDS program is proud to host a Supply Drive to support local veterans and help stock the North Adams Veterans Services office with essential items they need throughout the year.

Our local veterans have given so much to our communities, and this is a small way we can show our appreciation and make a meaningful difference. ❤️

We’re collecting essential supplies to help ensure veterans and their families have access to the resources they need.

Let’s come together as a community to support those who have served our country!

Thank you to our CBDS participants, staff, families, and community members for helping make this effort possible!
