Women Involved in Newtown (WIN) partners annually with the Town’s Department of Human Services to help connect Newtown households in need with those who want to give during Thanksgiving time.

For this Thanksgiving Basket program, adopted households receive everything they need for a Thanksgiving Dinner, additional everyday groceries, household needs and pet supplies.

Anyone who would like to adopt a household is invited to contact WIN at womeninnewtown@gmail.com.

Financial donations to put toward those “baskets” are always welcome as well. WIN is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization so donations are tax-deductible and 100% will go directly to those in need.

WIN has a PayPal account that can accept those donations, and then use them to fill in where something may be needed for one family or another.

Checks and grocery store gift cards are also welcome. Contact WIN through its website or mail them to WIN Thanksgiving Baskets, PO Box 286, Newtown CT 06470. The deadline to help this year is Sunday, November 24.
