COME BRING FOOD TO WINDSOR HOUSES OF WORSHIP (WHOW) TO COLLECTION at AUGUST 4TH WINDSOR TOWN GREEN CONCERT

On Thursday, August 4th at 6:30 p.m., the family and staff of Carmon Community Funeral Homes invite all Greater Hartford residents to a free “Farmington Valley Band” concert on the Windsor Town Green in Windsor, Conn. The performance on the Windsor Town Hall lawn on Broad Street is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and people can bring lawn chairs or blankets. The event is part of the Windsor Town Green concert series presented by the Windsor Chamber of Commerce and First Town Downtown.

Before and during the concert, the Windsor Houses of Worship (WHOW) civic association will host a collection drive for the Windsor Food & Fuel Bank. WHOW, comprised of members of Windsor’s faith-based institutions, is holding the summer collection to remind the public that food donations for hungry people are needed all year long, and not just during the November-December holidays.

Concert-goers can bring canned and boxed nonperishable food items and several types of personal care products to WHOW volunteers located at the Carmon Community Funeral Homes table on the grass near the stage. The Windsor Food & Fuel Bank reports its most needed items include: peanut butter and jelly, spaghetti sauce & pasta, macaroni and cheese, canned meats, crackers, cereal, baked beans, canned vegetables, canned fruit, fruit juice, coffee, tea and hot chocolate, and condiments such as ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise. The Food Bank also seeks personal care items such as paper towels, facial tissues, toilet paper, and diapers and baby wipes.
