SUMMARY:4th Annual Give the Gift of Living: 2025 Gear and Goods Drive
DESCRIPTION:The Franklin County and North Quabbin Emergency Services for Unhoused Individuals Task Force launched the 4th Annual “Give the Gift of Living: 2025 Gear and Goods Drive” from November 17 to December 22\, 2025. \nThis effort aims to provide essential gear and goods and to raise funds to purchase items for distribution to unhoused individuals in our rural area who lack access to emergency shelter services. This need is great as Franklin County and the North Quabbin region\, which spans 30 communities\, have only one emergency shelter for individuals in Greenfield. It is currently full.\n \nYou will find more information about it below. \n\n\n\nThe 2025 Gear and Goods Drive flyer can be found here. \n\n\n\n\nA list of needed donations can be found here. \n\n\n\n\nFinancial donations are gladly accepted. Please click here to make them via the Interfaith Council of Franklin County. In the Fund drop-down menu\, choose “Opioid Task Force Gear and Goods Campaign.” \n\n\nWe are grateful to those who have already donated. Thank you. We have received multiple items\, which we are inventorying and getting back out to the community as soon as possible.
