To the Editor:

A huge thank you to the very generous residents of Newtown!  You have come through again this year to stock the shelves of the FAITH Food Pantry!  The volunteer firefighters of Newtown were able to give them 72 turkeys, 1 ham, 157 boxes of food and $1,382 in cash and gift cards!

Thank you to Stop & Shop and Big Y for working with us and hosting the food drive!  Thank you also to Curtis Packaging for the donation of boxes to pack the food for delivery. I want to thank my fellow firefighters from Newtown Hook & Ladder, Botsford Fire & Rescue, Dodgingtown FD and Hawleyville Fire & Rescue for their continued support with this event!  I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!
