Thanks to the Connecticut Environmental Council, Inc. and the Connecticut Grounds Keepers Association!
After an informative workshop about how to best advocate for issues affecting our industry and the environment, we were able to bring the leftover food to the St. Vincent DePaul Shelter.
The food donated tonight provided a delicious warm meal for approximately 60 children, women, and men. The leftovers from today's breakfast will feed the same people tomorrow morning.
The timing couldn’t have been better as the shelter which normally only serves one meal a day, will be serving 3 meals due to the bitter cold temperatures expected tomorrow into Saturday. This will help them supplement and have what is needed as they expect to grow to full capacity of approximately 90 people.
Please keep the homeless in mind especially when the weather gets tough.
