The Connecticut Food Bank Needs Your Help For Thanksgiving!

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Alliance 0754296

The Connecticut Food Bank Needs Your Help For Thanksgiving!Next week is Thanksgiving and it is a time for giving thanks and to reach out and help the needy and less fortunate.

Last year the Connecticut Food Bank distributed more than 25,000 turkeys and over 500,000 lbs. of trimmings to help those in need.

This year once again The Connecticut Food Bank needs your help for Thanksgiving!  So far this year 16,030 turkeys have been collected with less than a week to go before Thanksgiving Day. 

I will be donating a turkey and canned goods to my local Connecticut Food Bank distribution center and ask that you too help those in need during this holiday and make some small contribution this week.

To learn how you can help, visit www.ctfoodbank.org and call (203) 469-5000.

Donna - we let our clients direct a portion of our charitable givings to the charity of their choice ... several of our clients have used our charitable donation direction option to direct funding towards our local food bank and other worthy causes.

Donna I listen to a sport show on the radio called the FAN, and tomorrow they are auctioning off a bunch of things to raise money for their local food banks.  They were commenting today on how food banks are all short, and this is a time of the year where they get a lot of calls.

Donna, great job sharing this information. Food banks and contributions are somewhat lower this year, and there are more that need the help. ;-)

Donna,  Good for you.  I am sure that a deserving family will get that turkey.

Bill - These programs are most definitely needed especially when there are so many people who are looking for help today.

Kathy - What a great idea!  I do donate a portion of my commission to the Children's Miracle Network on behalf of my clients at all my closings.

George - You listen to FAN too?  I used to listen to Mike and The Mad Dog all the time during baseball season.  What a great team they were together!  I'm so glad that FAN was participating in such a great way to help out the local food banks.

Terri - It's so sad to see so many more people in need of food banks and other charitable programs this year. 

Marlene - Thanks and I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving too.  I'm so happy that we've become such good friends thanks to AR.
