Feelings of gratitude, community created at food drive in Derby

Clients from the Disability Resource Network in Derby stopped by Dr. Bruce Sofferman's Thanksgiving food drive Friday in front of On-Time Printing on Route 34 in Derby. The clients donated canned food and posed with Sofferman and his wife, Deborah, dressed as Pilgrims, and their daughter, Sophia, dressed as a Native American. 
Also on hand were a turkey mascot (Kate Pipa, Spooner House representative) and volunteer Jim Bohn wearing a 'Gobble 'Til You Wobble' hat.  
All donations of food and cash will be given to the food bank at Spooner House in Shelton. 

Plaudits go out to the Soffermans for their efforts to make the 29th annual food drive a success. 
Donations will still be accepted until noon Wednesday at Smile Dental Center offices at 61 Elizabeth St., Derby, and 318 Oxford Road, Oxford.
