Gov. Jodi Rell today announced that state employees donated more than six tons of food for the 25th annual Care and Share Campaign, plus $11,000 in contributions for the Connecticut Food Bank and Food Share.
Should you be donating food and money to those organizations, also?
“That spirit has always been brightest in tough times,” Rell said in a statement. “The national recession has clearly made this year one of those tough times. I could not be more proud of Connecticut employees for helping truly make this a holiday from the heart.”
A $5 donation can feed five adults for a day and $10 can get food to two senior citizens for five days.
There’s still time to help those programs before the end of the year.
