Bolinsky, Carter, Sredzinski & Hwang Remind Newtowners of Food Drive
NEWTOWN- State Reps. Mitch Bolinsky (106), Dan Carter (2), J.P. Sredzinski (112) and State Senator Tony Hwang (28), along with the Newtown’s Social Services Department, want to remind Newtown residents that they are holding a food drive until the end of February to benefit Newtown families’ in-need.
Despite the cold and snowy weather making it a little difficult for some to get out to our four collection sites, we’re off to a great start. Thank you to all who have braved the elements and already shown their generosity. If you have not yet made it to your closest collection site, there’s still time to help this good cause! We will be collecting for another three-weeks so, hopefully, everyone will be able help us fill the pantry.
Newtown Social Services Department has a significant need for food donations year-round and especially during the winter months. They oversee a variety of programs for town residents, including the Connecticut Energy Assistance Program, Operation Fuel, Renters Rebate program for the elderly and disabled and The Salvation Army Emergency Food Pantry.
Your Newtown legislative delegation is challenging residents to help us fill the Newtown Social Services Food Pantry.
You’ll find our collection boxes for canned and packaged foods, diapers, toiletries, warm clothing, pet food and other non-perishable consumables, until Feb. 28th, at the following locations:
- Newtown Municipal Center at 3 Primrose Street
- Edmond Town Hall at 45 Main Street
- C.H. Booth Library at 25 Main Street
- Caraluzzi’s Newtown Market at 5 Queen Street
For those who wish to give a monetary donation, please contact the Newtown Social Service Director Ann Piccini at 3 Main St, Newtown, (203) 270-4330.
Thank you in advance for your consideration!
