Originating in 2008, the Warm Up the Winter campaign began as a benefit concert founded by Rabbi Deborah Zecher. Known as an entertaining, uplifting, and unifying showcase of diversified local talent, this year’s three-hour-long benefit concert will take place at Barrington Hall.
This is Construct’s 19th annual campaign to Warm Up the Winter fundraising campaign and benefit concert for South Berkshire County residents in need. The campaign raises funds for wintertime emergency assistance for fuel, utilities, rent payments, and short-term accommodations for low-income residents.
Funds raised from the Warm Up the Winter campaign will help income-eligible households in south Berkshire County, including the towns of Lenox, Lee, Richmond, West Stockbridge, Stockbridge, Great Barrington, Housatonic, Sheffield, Ashley Falls, Monterey, New Marlborough, Mill River, Otis, Becket, Sandisfield, and Tyringham.
