Valley Community Council, Inc. (HVCC) is responsible for ordering food
from Foodshare weekly to serve the clients of the Tri Town Pantry. “Adopt A Week” is a new program launching at HVCC in
order to supplement the $50.00 delivery charge set in place by
Foodshare in 2008.
We are asking our
generous community to sign up with us to “Adopt A Week.” By sending in your $50.00 donation you will be covering the
cost of the delivery. This
is a wonderful opportunity to designate your dollars and help our
needy clients. You can
even donate and designate a week in honor of someone or in memory of
someone. Just let us know
of your intentions and we will mail the recipient an acknowledgement
of your gift.
Please mail your
$50.00 check to HVCC, 155 West Main Street, Vernon, CT 06066,
Attention: Adopt A Week. We
thank you in advance for your help.
