MSU Teams with Foodshare

November 29th, 2016


We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  In the spirit of the holiday, it gave us great pleasure to have assisted Foodshare in their “Turkey and Thirty” campaign to help local families put a meal on their table this Thanksgiving.  Accepting both turkeys and donations at West Hartford’s Big Y in Bishop’s Corner on November 4th and 5th, we had a great time meeting so many like-minded people who really put the “giving” in “Thanksgiving”! 

We are pleased to share that 134 turkeys were collected and $3,573 was raised over those two days.  And heartfelt “thanks” to our special guests: West Hartford Mayor Shari Cantor, Renee DiNino from The River 105.9 and James Arena-DeRosa, Foodshare President & CEO.

And how could we not thank Tika the Turkey for making a surprise visit?!
