Welcome to stories and pictures of the Berkshire Taconic region and the work of Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation.
In this section of the website, we offer pictures and stories: of our generous donors, whose funds strengthen our communities and of grant recipients that provide vital programs and services in many areas; and of the people of our community.
