Newtown initiative aims to help restaurants, people in need of groceries and meals

The COVID-19 virus has put many people out of work, and impacted local restaurants.  An effort is now underway in Newtown to help get food in the hands of the elderly, struggling families, and those at risk here in Newtown, as well as support the local restaurant community. 

The Department of Human Services has partnered with the Knights of Columbus and other organizations in town to coordinate efforts.  Meals or gift cards will be purchased from local restaurants, and groceries will be purchased to stock the shelves of FAITH Food Pantry. Food will be delivered to those without means of transportation or at risk to leave their homes. 

Partners include FAITH Food Pantry, Lion's Club, Rotary Club, Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary, Chamber of Commerce, Interfaith Council, Real Food Share, FONS (Friends of Newtown Seniors), and Whitsons Culinary Group.
