The Connecticut Valley United Way Corporate Volunteer Council is sponsoring its third Harvest House, a 400 square foot house of FOOD that will be built on the Shelton Riverwalk grounds on Saturday, September 26. 
The Corporate Volunteer Council is appealing to all local Shelton and Valley businesses as well as community groups to collect non-perishable food items for Harvest House. Food should be brought to the Shelton Riverwalk on Saturday, September 26, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Please make sure all food items are unopened and within their expiration dates.
This event will be a Family Fun Day thanks to a partnership with Echo Hose Ambulance Service in Shelton. Echo Hose is celebrating 60 years of community service with a Free Community Picnic and Highland Rovers Concert held from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. All attendees are asked to bring along non-perishable food items for Harvest House.
The purpose of the Harvest House is to raise awareness of the large amount of hunger in the Valley. Proceeds to benefits Valley Food Banks.
See Harvest House FAQs for more information.
