Thank For Feeding
Our Community
Joy of Sharing:
Feed the Need Food Drive
| |
|
This year's Joy of Sharing Feed the Need Drive was a success! With the collaboration of over 10 businesses and locations, volunteers meticulously organized nonperishable items for distribution just in time for Thanksgiving.
A heartfelt thank you extends to the individuals who hosted collection drives, generously supporting the effort to nourish our community. It's worth noting that all the collected food remains within our community, ensuring that our neighbors in need receive the support they deserve.
Some of the community organizations that benefited were: Bristol Housing Authority, Boys and Girls Club of Bristol, New Horizons Living Center, Meals for Neighbors, a Ministry of Zion Lutheran Church, God's Grocery Store, HRA of New Britain, Imagine Nation, A Museum Early Learning Center, The Salvation Army - Bristol, CT, and Gloria Dei Lutheran Church.
We look forward to feeding the need again next year!
