Week of November 27, 2015
As seen in the parking lot at Newtown Shopping Village in front of the Big Y supermarket on November 21, a large group of volunteer firefighters from Newtown Hook & Ladder, Hawleyville, and Sandy Hook gathered to accept donations of food for the needy. The many cardboard boxes in the foreground held donated food items. On November 22, volunteer firefighters from Botsford and Dodgingtown collected food items in the parking lot at Sand Hill Plaza in front of the Stop & Shop supermarket. The food collected by the five fire companies was donated to FAITH Food Pantry to aid families in need during the holiday season. The total food collection at both stores produced 70 turkeys, two hams, 137 boxes of food, and more than $1,000 in cash and gift cards. (Gorosko photo)
