PLEASE
HELP
FEED
SOUTHINGTON'S
HUNGRY
The military sector of the STEPS coalition (Southington's Town-wide Efforts to Promote Success) invites the whole town to help in a food drive being sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary and the Southington Army National Guard with STEPS volunteers to fill an Army truck with food for Southington's hungry .
It all happens on Saturday, June 6, 2015 at Southington's Walmart store on Queen Street, from 10 am to 3 pm.
Auxiliary member, Rachel Wache, (also STEPS military sector representative on the STEPS Advisory Board), stated that the Armory people are offering an Army Truck to be parked in front of Walmart so that shoppers may pick up a few foot items while shopping and bring it to the truck which will deliver all the food collected to Southington Community Services for the local hungry. STEPS youth and adult volunteers will be on hand helping the collection go smoothly.
The Southington Food Pantry stocks food, always needed, to help feed the hungriest of our local families. Janet Mellon, Director of SCS stated that the ten most needed food items are tuna, peanut butter, jelly, kid’s snacks, juice boxes, mac ‘n’ cheese, cereal, canned chicken or stew, pasta sauce, pasta, jello/pudding.
Please help, your contribution big or small will help a hungry family and their children have another meal.
