DALTON, Mass. — Dalton Rotary Club closed out 2024 by awarding $3,550 in financial assistance to local food pantries, fire departments and the Berkshire Humane Society.

 

The gifts were made possible by Dalton Rotary's 2024 fundraising efforts, primarily through its annual golf tournament.

 

The club gave $750 each to the St. Agnes, Loaves & Fishes, and Hinsdale food pantries, $250 each to the Dalton, Hinsdale, Windsor, and Lanesborough fire departments, and $300 to the Berkshire Humane Society.

 

"Food security has become a significant issue for the Central Berkshire community and the Butternut Fire demonstrated the importance of supporting our fire departments," said Michelle Pullano, Dalton Rotary president. "We're happy to help these organizations that provide such essential services with donations made possible through the generosity of our tournament sponsors, especially Greylock Federal Credit Union, Pittsfield Co-op Bank, Lombardi, Clairmont & Keegan CPAs, and L.P. Adams Co."
