October has been a very busy month for our office. The colder weather has started to arrive, increasing the need for Emergency Fuel in the community.
We would like to thank Youth and Family Services of Haddam Killingworth for all their fresh fruit donations leftover from the Pumpkin Run and for donating pizza and salad from the Senior Expo to our elderly community and a big Thank You to the community for donating blankets to our office. They have found good homes and are greatly appreciated.
The Emergency Fuel Bank has serviced a total of 10 families for oil and 1 family for wood.
The Emergency Food Bank has serviced a total of 42 adults and 18 children.
The Emergency Clothing Bank has serviced a total of 5 adults and 9 children.
Two emergency kits were given to individual elderly clients.
Eight blankets were given to clients and the elderly in need.
We have referred and worked with many programs this month to assist those among us in need. We have used Warm the Children, CRT, Soldier, Sailor & Marines, the Backpack Program, and Youth and Family Services.
Emergency kits and blankets are always available at the Social Services Office for those in need.
During this season of holidays, we are in need of holiday food items: stuffing, pie mixes, gravy, cranberry sauce, canned vegetables, and other staples for holiday dinners.
