Simsbury High School Student Donates Hundreds of Pounds of Food

To spread joy to local families this season, Bronson Starsiak, a Junior at Simsbury High School, organized a holiday food drive that collected hundreds of pounds of non-perishable items during the month of November. Starsiak delivered the donation to the Simsbury Food Closet located at the Senior Center at the start of December.

“I wanted to do something to make sure everyone in Simsbury would have a happy holiday,” explained Starsiak. “I chose a food drive in order to help the most people.”

As a member of the varsity Lacrosse team, he first reached out to the Lacrosse Boosters and Youth Lacrosse Association that generously supported his efforts. He also received overwhelming contributions from his neighbors at The Wyngate Association.

Starsiak notes his success could not have been possible without the efforts of friends and classmates Jack Donofrio and Vincent Gugliotti.

“I am extremely grateful for the outpouring of encouragement and donations I received,” said Starsiak. “I plan on making it an annual event.”
