To the Editor:

On Saturday, October 7, from 11 am to 4 pm, the Sandy Hook Organization for Prosperity (SHOP), is sponsoring the Seventh Annual Passport to Sandy Hook. It is a wonderful day to share with family and friends right.

Sandy Hook opens its doors to residents and surrounding communities to sample and view the fare of local businesses and merchants. An extra added benefit to this day of enjoyment is the food drive hosted by the Sandy Hook Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company. Food items, as well as monetary donations, are collected to aid FAITH Food Pantry in its mission to assist those in need in our community, to replenish the shelves in preparation for the coming holidays and this year to accept funds to help in constructing our new home to be located on the parish grounds of St Rose of Lima Church. This year's contributions may be brought to the fire truck behind 102 Church Hill Road. We invite you to stop by the FAITH booth to say hello. Any and all donations will be greatly appreciated.

Please join with SHOP and FAITH Food Pantry in a fun, festive, and family day. Come to see why Sandy Hook is the place many love to call home. We look forward to seeing you!

Sincerely,

Joan L. Brand, Secretary
