SHELTON - Representatives of Celebrate Shelton Friday presented a $500 check to Adam’s House, a no-cost grief support center for children and families who have experienced the loss of a loved one.
The funds were raised during “Food Trucks on the River,” hosted by Celebrate Shelton, an initiative that highlights the Valley community by creating fun and family-friendly events.

The event Oct. 19 drew more than 2,000 people to Veterans Memorial Park.
In addition to 28 of Connecticut's best food trucks, there was live music, local vendors, a kids costume parade, a beer garden highlighting New England Brewing Co., and a “Paint-A-Pumpkin” patch.
All proceeds from “Paint-A-Pumpkin,” and a portion of the suggested $5 charitable entrance donations were given to Adam’s House.
“With this generous donation from Celebrate Shelton, Adam’s House can continue to offer theme-based educational programming where participants receive peer support and coping skills to overcome the loss of a loved one through expression and positive-play, in a warm, caring atmosphere at absolutely no-cost to the families,” said Allison Wysota, founder, Adam’s House.
