TRUMBULL — State Representatives David Rutigliano (R-123), Ben McGorty (R-122) and Tony Scott (R-112) in conjunction with the Trumbull Stop & Shop and Homes For The Brave are hosting a ‘Stuff-a-Truck’ Veterans Food Drive event to collect items to benefit local veterans in need.
The Trumbull legislators have held their annual food drive each year at the time before the Thanksgiving Holiday.
The event will take place on Saturday, November 23rd from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Stop & Shop on 100 Quality Street in Trumbull.
There will be a ‘Truck’ on the premises to collect non-perishable food items and toiletries that will then be donated to local Veterans in need.
Homes for the Brave has provided housing, vocational training, and life skills coaching to help individuals out of homelessness since 2002. To date, they have worked with nearly 1,200 men and women, most of whom are veterans.
In 2011, Homes for the Brave opened Female Soldiers: Forgotten Heroes, Connecticut’s first and only community-based transitional home exclusively for homeless female Veterans and their young children.
