Seymour nonprofit seeks help to provide holiday meals

Connecticut Partnership for Children, Inc., the Valley’s first diaper bank, is running its fourth annual Thanksgiving Food Program.

Last year, this program provided complete Thanksgiving meals to 36 families throughout Connecticut.

This year, CTPFC plans to feed 50-100 families, but we need your help! 
The Partnership received a grant from Stop & Shop for $1,000, as well as several in-kind donations, including Great Expectations Day Care and Learning Center in Southbury, and the Walnut Hill Community Church Valley Campus in Seymour. 
CTPFC has estimated that it will cost approximately $25 to feed a family of four to five people.

We are asking for monetary donations from individuals and businesses, sponsorship of a family (providing non-perishable food items), and that that your group or business hosts a food drive. 

CTPFC Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization, so your donation may be tax deductible.

For more information, or to sign up as a donor/sponsor, contact Nicole at nicole@ctpfc.org. or at 203-881-1804.
