Pittsfield Cooperative Bank hosts Toys For Tots toy drive BY ERIK DECKERS Sponsored Content Contributor

PITTSFIELD, MASS. — Pittsfield Cooperative Bank — The Co-op — once again is participating in the annual Toys For Tots Christmas toy drive, which is sponsored by the U.S. Marine Corps. The bank will be collecting new, unwrapped toys at all four Co-op branches: 70 South St. and 110 Dalton Ave. in Pittsfield; 431 Main St. in Dalton; and 325 Main St. in Great Barrington. The Co-op has been involved in Toys For Tots for the past five years because officials saw a growing need and wanted to give back to the community they’ve been a part of since 1889. “As a local bank, we play an important role in giving back to the communities we serve. We are committed to doing our part to help bring a little hope and some smiles to these kids this Christmas,” Pittsfield Cooperative Bank President and CEO J. Jay Anderson said. The Co-op has boxes in which customers and non-customers alike can drop off toys at all the banks’ branches. The boxes will be in place through Dec. 9, although Toys For Tots will accept gifts right up until Christmas Day. In addition to the general public, the employees of the bank are getting involved in giving. Staff members will be buying toys on behalf of the bank, as well as their own generosity, in order to get the boxes overflowing. “I have asked the bank employees to start shopping,” Anderson said. “We’re happy to provide funding to help fill this need.”

LONG-TIME CONTRIBUTOR The Marine Corps has led the Toys For Tots campaign since 1947, and that is supported by the different local

BEN GARVER — THE BERKSHIRE EAGLE

Marine Corps League Detachments throughout the country. Christopher Keegan, a member of Marine Corps League Detachment 137 in Pittsfield, has been running the Toys For Tots program for Berkshire County for the past seven years. Keegan said he has been involved with the Toys For Tots campaign since he first joined the League. He said he was “told in typical Marine Corps fashion” that he would be taking over the Toys For Tots program. He said it’s a role he has enjoyed. “I’ve been involved in the community almost my whole life here. I was the program director at the Boys and Girls Club for many years. I coach high school baseball. And I’m an employee at the sheriff’s office,” he said. As my wife says, ‘when giving a toy, it’s coming with a lit-

tle more of their heart,’” Keegan said. “Plus, all toys stay in Berkshire County,” He said he makes it his goal each year to honor every request that’s made to the program. It gets a little more challenging as the program continues to grow. “It’s gone up a few hundred kids each year,” Keegan said. “Last year, we got toys for just shy of 3,000 kids. We also deal with a dozen or so nonprofits that submit orders, as well as independent families who will register online.” Families who register online to receive gifts will travel to the Berkshire County Sheriff’s Office warehouse at 467 Cheshire Road in Pittsfield. Those families must show a form of ID, and then they’ll receive their gifts. Toys For Tots volunteers also will deliver gifts to people who do not have transportation.

THIS IS ‘A SPECIAL TIME’ The toys will be collected at The Co-op, as well as 145 other locations throughout the Berkshires region. People can drop off their toys and gifts at area restaurants, convenience stores, and schools. Some of the local schools even do intra-school challenges to help drive donations. Even some of the larger employers, which normally don’t get a lot of foot traffic, will be doing their own toy drives for the season. “This time of year is special. It’s the sense of community it creates, a sense of togetherness permeates the season and is not lost among our friends, neighbors and employees at the Pittsfield Cooperative Bank,” Anderson said. If you’re wondering what kinds of gifts to give to the Toys For Tots campaign, Keegan said there’s no restriction

“This time of year is special. It’s the sense of community it creates, a sense of togetherness permeates the season and is not lost among our friends, neighbors and employees at the Pittsfield Cooperative Bank.” — J. JAY ANDERSON, President and CEO, Pittsfield Cooperative Bank THIS IS PAID SPONSORED CONTENT

on what to give, as long as they’re age-appropriate for anywhere from newborns to 12 – 14-year-olds. “The older kids are into crafts or science types of projects,” Keegan said. “Or any type of sports like soccer, soccer, basketball, volleyball.”

FINDING WAYS TO SUCCEED Toys For Tots doesn’t only get its donations from the toy drive, which is from late October through Christmas Eve. The Marine Corps League Detachments also have fundraisers to buy toys and supplies. In the past, the League has staged a motorcycle ride, musical bingo and a pancake breakfast to help generate donations of toys and money. This year, there are some concerns about whether there will be enough toys

for the season in general, let alone for the Toys For Tots campaign. The supply chain disruption has a lot of people worried. “We will adjust to that as needed,” Keegan said. “And believe me, as a Marine, we’ll find a way to win this battle.” The Co-op is encouraging people to stop by and drop off their donations, even if they don’t have any bank business at that particular time. They can leave their donations in the box or through the driveup window.

The 2021-2022 Cannabis Gift-Giving Guide BY ARLINDA SMITH BROADY Sponsored Content Producer

This holiday season, gift-giving will present myriad challenges. With folks stuck at home for more than a year, they may have mail-ordered just about everything they would want. Or the presents you would like to buy are just about impossible to get with global supply-chain issues. And of course there is the age-old problem of presents for the person who really needs nothing. Theory Wellness, an award-winning medical and recreational cannabis dispensary, has some thoughts about cannabis gifting this holiday season. With locations in Massachusetts and Maine, it is a perfect example of a local retailer PHOTOS PROVIDED BY THEORY WELLNESS that offers products created

through its vertically integrated operations (“seed to sale”). From cultivation to retail, local labor and production make shopping for cannabis an easy task. As one of the first licensed recreational outdoor cultivators on the East Coast, Theory Wellness has products grown on a 30-year-old organic farm or in a state-ofthe-art production facility, so quality will never be an issue. “We have a deep passion for cannabis and the role it plays in improving people’s lives. We cultivate cannabis outdoors in Sheffield, indoors in Bridgewater and produce a wide variety of extracts, vaporizers, edibles and more at our Bridgewater facility,” the company’s website says. Theory’s name can be found across the common-

wealth. The company has a medical dispensary in Bridgewater, a medical and recreational dispensary in Chicopee and a medical and recreational dispensary in Great Barrington. “Throughout our work, we remain committed to expanding the science of cannabis and to work together to further improve your cannabis experience,” said Brandon Pollock, CEO and co-founder of Theory Wellness. A trip to a Theory Wellness is a world-class retail experience, with intensive staff cannabis training, on-site consultations and a holistic approach to hospitality. “The great thing about Theory is that there's a product for everybody,” said Thomas Winstanley, vice president of marketing. Winstanley said. “We always have our white glove consultation sessions for those who don’t really know what they want. You could give them a gift card, and they can come in and pick out what works for them.” He also encourages any consumer to reach out to the customer service department. “You can schedule a one-on-one call to go through your desired outcomes using cannabis, and based on past history and comfort level with cannabis, we'll match you with the product suggestions to enhance whatever it is you're hoping to accomplish or achieve using cannabis,” he said. Anyone can request a personalized consultation at any time, either in-store or virtually through the Theory Wellness website. One customer shared, “Theory customer service is top-notch! Really welcoming and ready to help you find what you're looking for. Online ordering with live chat is a huge plus!”

FOR THE CANNABIS CONNOISSEUR Anyone who’s a regular cannabis consumer will understand immediately that Theory Wellness is the gold standard. The connoisseur who loves a potent flower will recognize the quality of THEORYx – the apex of art and technology. That is, if you can find any on the shelves, given the small-batch nature and limited inventories. “THEORYx flower, which is our signature line, has beautiful bag appeal, high-testing THC and notable terpene percentages,” Winstanley said. “It’s the top shelf of all flower, and it’s a great option for discernable consumers who fixate on quality.” If you’re not into flower, THEORYx also offers a line of vape cartridges or extracts, all of which are produced through a proprietary, oxygen-free, cryogenic cold chain process. The end result is products that deliver an unrivaled symphony of taste, expression and effects. Beyond THEORYx, the standard flower has won countless awards and culminated in a loyal base of enthusiasts. Take it from one such consumer who shared the following testimonial: “Pricing is competitive for the area, [and the] selection and quality is exceptional. Consider this place the microbrewery of cannabis dispensaries. If they have it, Mimosa and Wedding Cake flower are the best!”

WHAT NEXT? from Apple Smoked Sea Salt to Crispy Mint. The flavors balance the THC content for a delectable treat that comes with an easy-to-measure dosage. For stocking stuffers, look for single squares that are perfect on the go or melted into your hot chocolate or coffee on a cold morning. Since the holidays are all about giving, Theory’s newest line of mints might be the ultimate in feel-good celebration. Their newly debuted line, Statemints, focuses on charitable giving in which 10% of all proceeds is donated to select non-profits whose focuses align with the company’s mission. Statemints include inventory that supports One Tree Planted for Environmental Conservatism, National Alliance on Mental Illness for Mental Health Support, and Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, and one that supports Community Arts that hasn’t been revealed because it is part of a secret project.

FOR THE CANNA-CURIOUS “For those who are maybe more canna-curious, haven't used cannabis in a long time or just want to try it in a more controlled way, Theory Wellness offers a cannabis-infused seltzer called Hi5. It’s a wonderful option for those folks, especially this time of year,” Winstanley said. Hi5 cannabis-infused seltzers used fast-act-

ing, emulsified THC compounds that create a more controllable type of edible experience. According to Winstanley, “everyone has that story of trying an edible, not feeling anything, then having a bad time. This product solves that.” The new blended THC approach provides more control over your dosing with rapid expression of effects. Not to mention, it comes in six all-natural flavors, with some seasonal releases like Winter Mule. This holiday season, if you’re looking to ditch the hangovers and find a more controlled way to enjoy your cannabis, look no further. By the way, did we mention it comes in a resealable, child-proof can?

DON’T LOVE CANNABIS, BUT KNOW SOMEONE WHO DOES? Even if you have no idea what you may want, Theory Wellness can guide the most unenlightened newbie to products that fit their needs. “For those who just have no idea where to start, they can always reach out to us, and we can help,” Winstanley said. As far as gift-giving goes, a Theory gift card is a perfect option, so the receiver can decide what’s best for him or her. There’s also apparel for the person who is an enthusiast. “That’s the beauty of shopping with us,”

FOR THE EDIBLE LOVERS OUT THERE For those who don't like to smoke but enjoy the effects of cannabis, Theory Wellness has a range of easy-to-dose, cannabis-infused treats that range from chocolate bars to chews. Their gummies come in a variety of flavors, with a range of standardized strengths. If you’re lucky, you might even see some limited-edition holiday seasonals, too. Theory Wellness chocolate bars are expertly crafted through one of Boston’s top executive chefs. The company uses single-source varietal chocolate that is blended with a range of tastes

The holidays will be upon us sooner than we realize. If you are interested in planning a visit, check out the Great Barrington Recreational Dispensary menu or Chicopee Recreational Dispensary menu to see what looks good. Looking for a Theory dispensary near you? No problem. You can find directions for Great Barrington here or Chicopee Dispensary here. If you’re still thinking through that perfect gift, keep an eye on the Theory Wellness Instagram account to see what will drop next! PLEASE CONSUME RESPONSIBLY.
