Ansonia resident collecting food to help needy neighbors
ANSONIA - Resident Noreen DeCiucis is collecting donations of food and funds to help the less fortunate in our community this holiday season.
She told me it's the ninth annual drive she has held, but I had not heard of it before. It's a wonderful effort and one that we all should support.
She posted Tuesday on Facebook:
"Hi friends.
As you know we are celebrating our 9th annual Thanksgiving food drive and need your help.
We run by donations only and are in desperate need of Turkeys!
If you could find it in your heart to donate please let me know.
There is no better feeling than sitting down at your Thanksgiving table, knowing you fed another family their dinner too."
Performance to benefit Bridges Healthcare, Milford Prevention Council
The event will be catered by Lasse's Restaurant and beverages will be available. There will also be a raffle with prizes donated by various Connecticut businesses.
Passing Strange will be performing a set of their original music - CDs and shirts will be available for purchase. All ages are encouraged to attend.

Now Seymour officers have joined the fun for a good cause.
Shared from Seymour PD Facebook page:
Officers from the Seymour Police Department will be participating in our first “No-Shave November.”
No-Shave November is a month-long journey during which officers will forgo shaving and grooming in order to evoke conversation and raise cancer awareness.
The Seymour Police Department has partnered with the Connecticut Cancer Foundation and all money raised will go to Connecticut families of cancer patients. Last year the Connecticut Cancer Foundation provided financial and social support to more than 500 Connecticut cancer patients and their families along with providing over $125,000 to cancer research.
