Attention BCSD Families: If you are a district family in need of the Helping Hands programs please complete this form https://berlincentral.org/…/2025/10/Helping-Hands-info.pdf so that we may better meet your needs. This form went home with all families at the beginning of the school year. If you are unable to print it please reach out to Mrs. Baker or Mrs. Poli for assistance. The Holiday Bear sign up deadline is quickly approaching, please complete and turn in Holiday Bear requests by 10/24/25.
Berlin CSD Helping Hands would like to express appreciation for the generous support from local business Taconic, which continues to provide support for the Thanksgiving meals, multiple monetary donations, and the Holiday Bear program each year. Without their support, Helping Hands would not be able to support as many families in need. Thank you, Taconic! The Helping Hands Program also appreciates the many anonymous donors who recognize the importance of the Helping Hands program and continue to offer their support.
If you’re interested in being part of the mission to lift up our district’s families in need, ensuring all Mountaineers have food support over the weekends through the Helping Hands weekend food bag program, and offsetting some of the stress that comes with Thanksgiving food costs and holiday gift expenses, please contact Mrs. Deanna Baker at dbaker@berlincentral.org or Mrs. Jen Poli at jpoli@berlincentral.org.
