Locations
and Holiday
Food Drive events this year include: the Huntington Hose Fire
Company working with
Girl Scout Troop 64146 in Shelton; the Frank Hoinsky Real
Estate Operation Stuff
a Bus Holiday Food Drive in Ansonia; Seybridge Pharmacy in
Seymour; the Boy
Scouts Scouting for Food program; the Shelton High School
basketball clinic at
Shelton Intermediate School, as well as continuing the
tradition for the Seymour
Middle School eighth grade Gold Team frozen turkey
drive.
More people than ever
in the Valley
need support to obtain
all the ingredients necessary for satisfying holiday
meals, so Spooner House is asking everyone to be as generous
as possible.
“More
than 6,000
individuals have been served by the Food Bank this past year,
comprising over
153,000 meals, 92,000 more than just four years ago when
61,000 meals were
served,” said Executive Director Susan Agamy.
“Our supplies are always put under pressure during the holiday months as colder weather and varying temperatures impact our client base. This year we are continuing the expansion of our Operation Holiday Food Drives to encompass more organizations reaching out to assist us in meeting client needs.”
