Feeding Our Neighbors Challenge nears goal

The Feeding Our Neighbors Challenge to help Danbury-area food pantries is less than $10,000 from its $100,000 goal.  The fundraiser was launched in response to comedian John Oliver's donation to the Connecticut Food Bank.  United Way President Isabel Almeida says they're still seeing a great need for food, especially as the holidays put more demands on family budgets.  Three local financial institutions put up $45,000 in seed money for the challenge, which was bolstered by a mini-challenge resulting in Mayor Mark Boughton running down West Street in a chicken suit.  All funds raised through the Feeding Our Neighbors Challenge will benefit 15 food pantries that are members of the Danbury Food Collaborative.
