Police union to collect food at Shelton Day

SHELTON - The Shelton Police Union will be holding a food drive on Sunday during Shelton Day. 
Non-perishable foods and cash donations will be accepted and will benefit the Shelton High School food bank.
 

 The Shelton High School food bank was started to help provide assistance to families with children who attend any school within the Shelton school system.

 Every day more and more of our residents, through no fault of their own, are finding it increasingly difficult to provide for their families. It is understood that everyone is feeling the impact of the current state of the economy, but it is important to help our neighbors in need.

 Since the food bank focuses on children, please keep “kid-friendly” items in mind. Items such as peanut butter, jelly, pancake mix, syrup, macaroni and cheese, hot chocolate mix, canned vegetables and fruit, and tuna will help build up the food bank before the upcoming holidays. Please be sure to check expiration dates on the donated items.

 Non-food items are also needed. These items include, but are not limited to, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, and deodorant. Also liquid dish detergent, plastic wrap, and aluminum foil will be accepted. 

Cash donations collected will be used to purchase grocery gift cards.

For more information contact Officer Mary Beth White at the Shelton Police Department, 203-924-1544 ext. 416.
