WINTER IS HERE, AND

PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY!

 

*** WE ASK FOR YOUR HELP ***

 

The United Way of Northwest Connecticut has set up food collection depots in Torrington, Winsted, and Canaan. Our goal is to collect enough food to carry our area food banks through the winter.

 

Food collected will remain in towns where collected, and will be distributed to FISH, Friendly Hands Food Bank, Torrington and Winsted Salvation Army Food Banks, and Fishes & Loaves in North Canaan.
