Heav'nly Donuts in Derby to host annual food drive for Spooner House



DERBY - Heav’nly Donuts will host the popular Dust-Off Car Cruise and collection of non-perishable food items to benefit Spooner House and Valley Food Bank from noon-5 p.m. April 9. 

Spooner House at 30 Todd Road, Shelton has the mission of providing food, shelter and support services to people in need. 
The goal is to over-fill a classic 1948 Crosley station wagon with donated canned goods and other food items.

The Dust-Off Cruise will take place at Heav'nly Donuts, 653 New Haven Ave. and this year is the 31st annual car cruise. The goal is to collect 4,500 total donated food items. Last year the event filled the Crosley wagon with at least 4,161 food items. This event also provides the perfect reason to bring out your classic car in preparation for the cruising season.

Heav’nly Donuts normally runs the classic cruises every Sunday afternoon from Mothers’ Day until late October. 
The April Dust-Off Car Cruise kicks off a tradition started five years ago by the Derby Heav'nly Donuts. Cruisers and spectators who come to see all the great cars and motorcycles and who also bring canned goods and non-perishable food items, will be helping some of this years hardest hit people.

"It is very expensive to live in Connecticut, and meeting general living expenses is more difficult for families with low or very little income. Our mission is to help non-profit organizations such as Spooner House and the Valley Food Bank," said Ernie Badas, owner of Heav'nly Donuts. 

"All charities and non-profits have lost substantial portions of their operating budget due to the state cuts, which are making it even harder than last year for Spooner House to provide food, shelter, and other support services for people who need assistance in the lower Naugatuck Valley."

In case of inclement weather, the rain date will be April 16, which is Easter. 
For information call 203-734-4185.
 
Non-profit Area Congregations Together, Inc.  was formed in 1979 to help fill gaps in the lower Naugatuck Valley's social service network. 
Today, Spooner House is operated by ACT and is a facility that provides food, shelter and support services to approximately 175 men, women and children each year. More than 4,000 individuals have been served by the Food
Bank this past year, comprising more than 120,000 meals.
