LAST WEEK

KIWANIS GRANT SUPPORTS THANKSGIVING FEAST

As reported last week, The Kiwanis Club of Weston Foundation joined the Friends of the Weston Senior Activities Center and the Town of Weston Social Services Department in financially supporting The Friends of Lachat Town Farm’s Thanksgiving Feast.

55 individuals, including a dozen children, who would otherwise have been alone for Thanksgiving, were served at this year’s sold-out event.

In addition to $500 financial support from our foundation, Kiwanis member Harry Falber and his wife Pattie Falber worked the event.

AMG Catering provided the feast, including turkey, sides, and dessert. Diners brought either some apple cider or a bottle of wine to share. They gathered in the beautiful new Offutt Center for a family-style, casual dinner from noon to 3 p.m. cozy and warm, with a fire glowing in the fireplace!

NEWS

Our Kiwanis Club of Weston Foundation has again granted a request for $5,000 to provide meals and gift cards for 60 households which include 130 individuals - in these households we will be helping 38 children and 55 senior citizens.

The grant to the The Weston Human Services Holiday Giving Program was requested by the director of Weston's Human Services Department and fellow Kiwanian, Allison Lisbon.

A heartfelt thank you to the Kiwanis Club of Weston Foundation. This holiday season, you will directly impact over 60 households in Weston. We couldn't run this program without you.
