Baskets were delivered to four shelters in Fairfield County: Norwalk Emergency Shelter and Domestic Violence Crisis Center, both in Norwalk, and Inspirica, Inc. and Domestic Violence Crisis Center, both in Stamford.
“My family started this wonderful community service project when my eldest son Anthony was just two years old,” said Kim DiMatteo. “This year, in fact, my husband John and I were thrilled when our three adult children, Anthony, Michael, and Jessica, approached us about volunteering again. We spent weeks organizing and preparing for the Easter delivery.”
