Press release: – GLASTONBURY TOWN CENTER INITIATIVE DRIVE BY FOOD BANK EVENT – NOVEMBER 28

Glastonbury Town Center Initiative SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY FOOD BANK EVENT 

Due to Covid-19, for the safety of our volunteers and patrons, Glastonbury Town Center Initiative cannot hold our Twinklin Pumpkins event.  Because of the pandemic, more and more of our neighbors, workers and seniors are driven into food insecurity with the food banks fighting to keep up with demand. To support our community, WE JOIN THE FIGHT, and we’d like you by our side. 

Please join Glastonbury Town Center Initiative for a DRIVE-BY FOOD BANK EVENT, Saturday, November 28th from 9:00-11:00am utilizing Main Street’s right turn lane onto Hebron Avenue in front of the Fountain Green. We will have volunteer stations along the Main Street curb to accept donations via passing to containers or popping of trunks and we will bring all of our Halloween inflatables for our smallest patrons.  All State of CT Reopen rules will be strictly followed.

GTCI is asking for targeted donations to fill our community’s needs. Please consider giving gifts of MONETARY DONATIONS including grocery cards, checks payable to Glastonbury Gives, or cash for the Glastonbury Food Bank, which is only accepting monetary donations to minimize social contact due to Covid.  Please also consider highly requested nonperishables of peanut butter, canned tuna/chicken, canned vegetables and canned soup for Food Share which supports the community on rotating Wednesdays at First Church on Main Street. All donations are tax deductible.

Can’t make the event?  Please consider donating online at:
