It's Looking A Lot Like

Thanksgiving

  

This is a busy time at Gifts of Love as we hope to distribute over 350 turkey dinners to our clients. Although our new office space is larger than the old, we use every spare foot of space to

prepare the bags of food. Countless volunteers stuff and distribute the bags, pick up food and unpack the truck.

 

Although we are well on our way to reaching our goal, we can still use your help. Please consider donating to our programs this fall and helping a family struggling to make ends meet.

 

We are so thankful for our donors, volunteers and friends that enable us to provide so much for some many.

Mitchell Subaru Share The Love Campaign 

 

From November 20, 2014 to January 2, 2015, Subaru will donate $250 for every new Subaru vehicle sold or leased to the customer's choice of one of four national charities.

 

In addition to the four national organizations, Subaru retailers once again have the opportunity to add a local charity for their customers to support. We are happy to report that Gifts of Love has been chosen as the Mitchell Subaru Dealers local charity of choice!

 

"We are thrilled to continue the Share the Love program. It is part of our culture as an organization to support causes important to our customers," said Alan Bethke, vice president of marketing, Subaru of America, Inc. "By the end of this year, Subaru will have donated $50 million to worthy causes."

 

The sales team at Mitchell Subaru, Canton, met to learn more about Gifts of Love, the Community Farm of Simsbury and the Share the Love Campaign. Last year, Mitchell Subaru raised over $4500 for its hometown charity during the annual Share the Love Campaign.

 

This is the perfect time to Share the Love for Gifts of Love.

OUR MISSION:   

Gifts of Love and Community Farm of Simsbury recently merged to build the capacity of people by creating positive change in their lives, improve food security and lessen the impact of financial crisis for people in need.  
 
We accomplish this by producing and distributing food, offering farm-based and life-skill educational programming, and providing critical, sustaining tangible supports to those in need.
