Organization Directory

A primary purpose of Northern Berkshire United Way, as with United Ways across the country, is to operate annual fund drives to support programs of "member" agencies. The agencies offer services to local residents, are non-discriminatory, and not-for-profit. NBUW has 25 member agencies who offer 57 programs supported through the Northern Berkshires annual fund drive.

 

This section of our web site has contact information and profiles on each member agency. If the agency has a web site, this is the first information after the agency name.   NBUW assigns volunteers to be liaisons with the agencies.  Each agency's volunteer liaison (and the color of their volunteer group) is listed at the end of each agency's section.  To find the liaison's contact information, see the Contact page of this site and look in Agency Relations/Annual Allocations under the appropriate volunteer group color.
