City of Derby collecting donations for SVDP food pantry

Sharing a message from Derby Town/City Clerk Marc Garofalo:

"Dear City of Derby Colleagues and Friends,

"As you may be aware, the City Hall staff, in lieu of a Holiday Secret Santa Gift, donated food to the St. Vincent DePaul Food Pantry on Roosevelt Drive.

"After discussions with the operators of the Food Bank, I asked them for monthly suggestions for food collections to concentrate on what is in short supply.  
"We decided that we would start a monthly collection of one specific item to help them feed those in need in our City and the Valley.

"So we are starting off this month collecting jars of jelly.  While they have a lot of peanut butter, jelly is in short supply.

"If you are interested, please consider dropping off one jar of jelly at the Town/City Clerk’s Office before the end of the month and we will deliver the jars on February 1, 2016 and start a new collection for February.

"Please forward to friends, relatives, associates and colleagues. We appreciate your support.

"Thank you for your cooperation and possible participation."
