Check it out!

For the latest episode of One Pittsfield with Mayor Marchetti, I went to the First to talk with Erin Forbush, senior director of shelter and housing at ServiceNet and Paul, a community member who utilizes the services provided at the First.

In this episode you will learn more about this new resource center, located at Zion Lutheran Church, the services they offer and the impact it is having in our community.

This episode will air on Monday, April 13 at 5:30 p.m. on Pittsfield Community Television CityLink Channel 1303 and on City Hall - City of Pittsfield. I hope you'll tune in!
