The Center of Pittsfield

The Center of Pittsfield The Christian Center is the oldest nonprofit human service organization in the Berkshires. Founded in 1892 by parishioners of the First Methodist Church.

The Center exists to nourish, empower, and connect individuals and families by providing compassionate and equitable support, essential resources, and opportunities that strengthen our community, help our neighbors thrive, and improve quality of life. The Christian Center was first known as the Epworth Mission. Following the Great Depression the Epworth Mission developed numerous programs to meet

the social needs of the day and hired a full-time director. The Pittsfield Area Council of Churches underwrote the cost of these activities.

Please consider joining our partner, Berkshire Bounty in their support of our local food system.

To "glean" is

to gather slowly and laboriously, bit by bit.

to gather food left behind after a harvest

to clear (a field, orchard, etc.) of leftover produce.

Berkshire Bounty began as a gleaning organization and this time of year, we stay close to our roots. Volunteers collected 700 lbs of the most beautiful peaches from a property owner last week for distribution to feeding assistance programs. Interested in joining?
