As some of you may have seen, we have partnered with several Berkshire County Non-Profits to create their own packs to help raise money. We call them “Packs with a Purpose.” We collaborate with each Non-Profit, source relevant mission/ constituent driven products from small, local businesses and then list the packs on our website and display them at The Shop. With each sale made, we donate a portion of the proceeds to the Non-Profit.

To date we have launched four incredible “Packs with a Purpose”. The first collaboration was with BRIDGE and produced the “RESTORATIVE JUSTICE” Pack. This Pack inspired us to continue working with other Non-Profits in the same way - special thanks and shout out to Gwendolyn Hampton-VanSant and the BRIDGE crew for helping create such a fun and worthwhile program. We have also worked with the Berkshire Immigrant Center to create the “INSPRIRED BY IMMIGRANTS” Pack, with BerkShares. Inc. to create the “KEEPING IT LOCAL” Pack, and with Berkshire Theatre Group to create the “KEEPING THEATRE ALIVE” Pack.

We have many other Packs in the works that we hope to launch soon! If you are involved with an organization who would like to discuss a Pack of your own to help raise funds for your favorite local Non-Profit, please reach out to us and we can discuss our options. What we love most about this program is that we a local business, purchase local products from Berkshire producers, and also raise funds for local Non-Profits. Talk about a win, win, win! Giving back to our local businesses and Non-Profits is at the core of our business as one can see through our many sponsorships and programs.

We are so excited to have our first four Packs available on our website under Packs with a Purpose (Restorative Justice Berkshire Pack - To Support BRIDGE — Only in My Dreams Events ) and at The Shop in South Egremont. Please consider purchasing one of these packs so that we can help local businesses and Non-Profits in the Berkshires!
