Grateful For A Special Community
To the Editor:
Our gratitude goes out to Karen Halstead and all of our local fire departments for a fabulous food drive on November 17. We are grateful to Stop & Shop and Big Y for hosting the fire trucks for collection.
We received over 50 turkeys and all the fixings for Thanksgiving and $1,000 in cash and gift cards. Our shelves are stocked due to the generosity of our community. You never cease to amaze us, Newtown!
A special thank you to Louise at My Place Restaurant for donating pizza for our amazing volunteers. A final shout out to Briana, Casey, Courtney, Keeley, Lucas, and Ryder for sorting, bagging, and carrying food for us.
We are grateful to be part of a special community. Many thanks, Newtown.
