VIM Berkshires (Volunteers in Medicine)

Thank you Indian Line Farm for the beautiful vegetables gifted to our patients! This is what it means to be a part of ViM, to recognize that the health of a community is measured by how we care for one another. Through volunteering, giving, and showing up for our neighbors, we help bridge gaps in access and opportunity. In doing so, we not only improve individual lives, but also create a stronger, more connected community. Together, we bring hope where there is uncertainty, support where there is struggle, and light to places that need it most.

The Josh Billings RunAground is launching the Finish Line Fund: when racers sign up to enter the race, they now have the option of supporting a Berkshire area nonprofit organization. If you or your friends are racing, we hope you'll consider supporting ViM!

We are so excited to be a part of this tradition. You can support ViM by racing in the 2026 Josh Billings RunAground or donating to any racing teams that choose to race for ViM. Learn more on their website: https://joshbillings.com/. Race day is September 20th!

ViM Earns 2026 Gold Rating from the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics. NAFC was founded in 2001 by a group of grassroots medical providers and organizers who recognized that health care was not being provided at a local level to the working poor, uninsured and underinsured in our country in a way that was cost-effective, accessible and affordable. The mission of the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics is to ensure that the medically underserved have access to affordable quality health care.

Excited to share that on Friday, April 17th at 8:00 PM Big Table Productions at Shakespeare and Co.'s Tina Packer Playhouse in Lenox, will be hosting a fundraiser with all proceeds being donated directly to Volunteers in Medicine and The Giving Garden!

We are very fortunate to live, work, and serve in Berkshire County, where so many of our neighbors are doing their best to be engaged citizens. This reading offers us a chance to ask ourselves challenging questions and reflect on our own reality - and the roles we are willing to play as things evolve around us.

We would love to see as many of you there as possible. Feel free to bring a friend or family member - the more the merrier, and every ticket makes a difference for ViM.

Read the latest op-ed published in the Berkshire Eagle today by our Co-Chair of the Board of Directors and volunteer primary care physician here at ViM.

In 40 years of medicine, I have never seen a moment when that kind of work mattered more or when the distance between a patient and a diagnosis felt more
