| All was quiet inside the thrift shoppe Dec. 22, which was closed before the holiday distribution. |

| Volunteers strike a pose as they wait to give out bags of groceries, frozen turkeys, and gallons of milk. Kudos to Jim Guarrera, an owner of Carey & Guarrera Real Estate in Shelton, for once again getting staff and friends to help with the distribution. |

St. Vincent De Paul Helping Hands of the Valley Thrift Shoppe and Food Bank is at 237 Roosevelt Drive, Derby.
Director Sandi Bailie said the nonprofit gave out more than $161,000 worth of food and gifts for Christmas, thanks to the generous donations of local businesses, organizations, and individuals.
I wish her and thrift shoppe manager Cindy Barbian all the best in the New Year as they continue to make a difference in the community.
Hours are 9:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
