Ansonia resident asks community to donate items for troops overseas

This is shared from a Facebook post:

"I'm collecting small items for our troops overseas and here are some of the items [listed below] that have been requested. If you can find it in your heart to donate any of these items please let me know.

"These soldiers will be in place until April of next year. Letters and kids' drawings are always a hit.

"If you have small children maybe they can draw a picture or make them a Christmas card.

"You can either contact me [Irene Krom-Kirby on Facebook] for pickup or items can be dropped off at Main Street Gallery, 258 Main St., Ansonia across from City Hall at the following times:

"Wednesday/Thursday 4-8 p.m. (after Thanksgiving)

Anytime - Friday 4-8 p.m.; Saturday 1-8 p.m.

Thank you."
