Our Berks Legacy

Presented by Griswold Home Care For Berks County, Our Berks Legacy is a storytelling project devoted to the people, places, and memories that make Berks County home. From lifelong residents to caregivers, community leaders, and quiet everyday heroes, we capture the stories that too often fade away.

Created and hosted by Gary R. Hawkins, longtime Berks County resident, Our Berks Legacy grew out of decades of listening to families share their journeys 
in life. 

Through aging, care giving, hardship, and hope. Gary has spent more than five decades in the care field, and he’s seen how quickly a lifetime of memories can be lost if no one takes the time to record them.

Our Berks Legacy preserves these stories so they can be shared with children, grandchildren,  and the wider community for years to come.
