Derby-Shelton Rotary, Liberty Bank seek help alleviating hunger


The Derby-Shelton Rotary Club is once again joining forces with Liberty Bank and the Liberty Bank Foundation to alleviate hunger in the Valley.  
The 2018 Liberty Bank/Rotary Club Thanksgiving Dinner Drive will run through Nov. 17.  

Gifts will have an even greater impact on feeding individuals and families when at the end of the campaign, the Liberty Bank Foundation will add 25 cents for each dollar raised during the drive.  

“The Food Banks at Spooner House, Shelton, and St. Vincent DePaul, Derby have been selected as the beneficiaries of all funds raised by the Derby-Shelton Rotary Club during the Thanksgiving Dinner Drive,” Arlene Greco, co-chair said.   
“If you are considering making a donation for food to Spooner House or St. Vincent DePaul during the holidays, we hope you will choose to give to this project,” said co-chair Shawna Vallilo. “This is an amazing opportunity to have your donation matched 25 percent, giving the food banks the opportunity to purchase 25 percent more food at a time when the need is greatest.”
There are a variety of ways you can help, including doing a collection at your workplace or place of worship, collecting donations through the sale of paper turkey legs, by sponsoring a collection jar or making a personal donation.  
Just imagine having your $100 donation turned into $125 worth of food for those most in need.
Anyone wishing to make a donation to the Derby-Shelton Rotary Club’s drive can visit Liberty Bank branches at 49 Pershing Drive, Derby, or 504 Bridgeport Ave. #30, Shelton, through Nov. 17.
