Spooner House in Shelton is a known champion in the community, especially during the holiday season. This year, for the first time in the history of its relationship with PCRC, Spooner House has provided numerous turkey dinners, assisting a total of 76 individuals for Thanksgiving.
“We have always made referrals to their food pantry for our clients, but they contacted us this year with some extras that they had,” said Lori Parise, Coordinator of Case Management and Triple P Parent Educator at PCRC.
Historically, PCRC’s clinic, System of Care and community programs have worked with Spooner House, because they have housed PCRC clients who have also received assistance through their food pantry.
Holiday meal baskets
Every November and December, individuals and families are able to apply to receive a holiday meal basket through the food pantry at Spooner House, which includes a turkey and all the trimmings.
This November, Spooner House received an outpouring of donations and was able to distribute 368 baskets to food bank clients, additional individuals and families in need of added assistance around the holidays, and partner organizations within the Lower Naugatuck Valley.
"Spooner House received an abundance of support for our holiday meal basket program this year due to generous community donations from churches, businesses, schools, families, and individuals.
"We are happy to be able to provide extra baskets to PCRC for distribution to their clients in need, and we appreciate all they do for children and families in our community," said Susan Agamy, Executive Director of Spooner House.
