Connecticut Partnership Launches Thanksgiving Food Program

Learn how you can help make Thanksgiving better for a family in your area.

Connecticut Partnership for Children, Inc., the Valley’s first diaper bank, is running its fourth-annual Thanksgiving Food Program. 

In 2012, this program provided complete Thanksgiving meals to 36 families throughout Connecticut. This year, CTPFC plans to feed 50-to-100 families, but the program needs your help!

The partnership received a grant from Stop & Shop for $1,000, plus several in-kind donations, including Great Expectations Day Care and Learning Center in Southbury, and the Walnut Hill Community Church Valley Campus in Seymour. CTPFC has estimated that it will cost approximately $25 to feed a family of four-to-five people. 

We are asking for monetary donations from individuals and businesses, sponsorship of a family (providing non-perishable food items), 
or that your group or business hosts a food drive. CTPFC Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization, so your donation may be tax deductible. 

For more information, or to sign up as a donor/sponsor, please contact Nicole via email nicole@ctpfc.org or by phone (203) 881-1804.

Founder Meg Tarby of Oxford says, "Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity; it is much appreciated."
