West Haven Official Thanks US Foods For Helping Church

WEST HAVEN, CT — (Contributed): Public Works Commissioner Tom J. McCarthy has issued a statement thanking US Foods for helping Vertical Church, 225 Meloy Road, to feed those in need.

“I would like to extend an enormous thank-you to US Foods and company representative Josh Smith for their recent act of generosity to use a refrigerated truck in these unprecedented times,” McCarthy said. “The refrigerated equipment has allowed Vertical Church to expand its food offerings for those in need to include perishable items — eggs, milk, frozen meats — and fresh fruits, in addition to the nonperishable items the church has been offering.

“My thanks also go to Mayor Nancy R. Rossi and Councilman Robert Bruneau, D-9, for their leadership to ensure this humanitarian action took place.”
