To the editor:
Wild Oats Market, a cooperative market in Williamstown, provided the Williamstown Youth Center with a check for $409, representing the proceeds from the co-op’s annual Ice Cream Social, which took place on Saturday, Aug. 1. The market provides the Youth Center with produce at cost throughout the year and has done so for more than a decade.
As a co-op, Wild Oats is in business to serve its members, many of whom are parents whose children have been involved in Youth Center programs. The Youth Center benefits many in the Wild Oats community as well as in the community of North Berkshire County. We’re extremely pleased to make them the recipient of the proceeds from this year’s fundraiser.
The Williamstown Youth Center serves children, adolescents and their families by providing quality educational, athletic, recreational and artistic programs in a safe, well-supervised environment that also provides age-appropriate challenges. Wild Oats Market provides members, customers and the community with local and organic products and healthy options for food and personal and household care. It donates resources to and otherwise supports several worthy community organizations, including the Williamstown Food Pantry and Berkshire Food Project.
