Reps. Klarides-Ditria, Klarides to Host Second Ansonia Food Giveaway

State Rep. Nicole Klarides-Ditria and House Republican Leader Themis Klarides will be hosting yet another Farmers to Family Food box distribution event to benefit those in need in the greater Naugatuck Valley on Friday, Oct. 30 at Nolan Field in Ansonia.
The event will take place from 12:00pm to 4:30pm or for as long as the supplies last. At least 1,150 food boxes will be handed out. The address is 461 Wakelee Avenue, Ansonia.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture F2F food program is being coordinated by TEAM Inc. of Derby, a local non-profit run by CEO/President David Morgan, the Friendly Hands Food Bank of Torrington Director Karen Thomas and Ralph DelBuono of Roma’s Restaurant in Oakville.
“Unfortunately, we are still receiving requests for more of these events,” said Rep. Klarides-Ditria. “People are continuing to struggle through this pandemic. I am so grateful not only for the opportunity to do something to help, but to the volunteers and organizers who have given so much of their time to make these events possible.”
The boxes will contain 12 pounds of produce, five pounds of meat and five pounds of dairy, plus a gallon of milk.
The lawmakers will be joined by their greater Naugatuck Valley colleagues and local officials: State Representative Rosa Rebimbas, State Senator George Logan, Ansonia Mayor Dave Cassetti and Seymour First Selectwoman Annmarie Drugonis.
