To the Editor:

I would thank all of the residents who came out to support the volunteer firefighters of Newtown at the 16th Annual Fill the Fire Truck Food Drive.

We collected 52 turkeys, 89 boxes of food, and $1,732 in cash and gift cards. The FAITH Food Pantry accepted the donations to help stock their shelves. The firefighters appreciate the Big Y and Stop & Shop’s support of this event.

Lastly, I would like to say thank you to my fellow firefighters and ladies auxiliary members for giving up time in their busy lives to collect food. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Sincerely,

Karin Halstead, Event Coordinator
