Sponsors Sought for Tolland's Care and Share Program
Applications are due by Friday, Oct. 25.
The town's Human Services Department is seeking organizational, business and family and individual sponsors for this year's Care and Share program.
The program provides holiday food baskets, and children’s gifts to needy Tolland residents and families around Thanksgiving and in December.
Town officials said donors may participate in any or all of the food basket/gift programs. Tolland residents and families enduring financial hardship may request an application to receive holiday food baskets and/or children’s gifts through Care and Share, town officials said.
Applications are due by Friday, Oct. 25.
Households facing "critical economic hardship" may continue to apply throughout the holidays, according to town officials.
The Human Services Department will ensure that all such households receive needed services, Town Manager Steven Werbner said in his latest report to the Town Council.
Residents can contact Nancy Dunn at 860-871-3612 for more information about becoming a sponsor or to request an application.
