Westhampton, Massachusetts
Community Organizations
In a town of 1,622, the organizations that help run civic life are not a garnish, they are load-bearing: conserving the forest the town just doubled, keeping the Council on Aging busy, and standing up the nearest hospital care. Every one of them takes volunteers.
