Trumbull Human Services Receives $4,600 'Santa's Runway' Donation

TRUMBULL, CT — For the second year in a row, residents of Sterling Road in Trumbull raised funds for social services with their "Santa's Runway" holiday light display.

According to a news release posted to the town website, the Sterling Road neighborhood gets into the holiday spirit each year by lining the road with lights and creating "Santa's runway" for onlookers from all over the state to enjoy.

During this time, the homes are beautifully decorated and residents donate their time by meeting with visitors, directing traffic and handing out candy canes and Christmas ornaments.

This year, "Santa’s Runway" organizers Zoli Szabo and Joe McDonald presented a check to the town's Human Services Department for $4,600, which will be used to support social services and the local food pantry.

"We are delighted that the community comes together to enjoy the light display and to give back to their community at the same time," Director of Human Services Michele Jakab said in a news release. "We are so grateful for the donation."
