Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Berkshire County Roy Thompson Scholarship Fund, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me!

The Berkshire County Roy Thompson Scholarship Fund is organized for charitable purposes. Our mission is to support the well being of animals within our community through a local food pantry and the development of a Veterinarian Scholarship Fund.

Roy thompson has always been a strong advocate for animals. He founded the Adams Friends of Animals, which provides a food pantry for pets in Adams, and has formed connections with both local businesses and an area animal hospital to receive donations. He has initiated an avenue for the community to help others in need, especially during winter months when there may be higher bills and fewer funds available to feed pets. Most notably, in 2010 Roy received The Margery and William Barrett Public Service Award, which represented four decades of public service to the citizens of Adams. With the funds received from this award, as well as money donated to the Adams Friends of Animals, Roy created the Roy Thompson Scholarship Fund to support students from northern Berkshire County interested in studying veterinary medicine. Roy’s love for animals is a legacy that will carry on. Roy was recently awarded the Adams Town Report.
