Windsor Food & Fuel Bank Nov. 14th Fundraiser at Ace Hardware

With the holidays just weeks away, a Windsor Center business encourages area residents to step up and come assist those in town who can use some help during these challenging times.

On Saturday, Nov. 14th between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., Windsor Ace Hardware at 296 Broad St. (entrance in Geissler’s parking lot) will host a fundraiser for the Windsor Food & Fuel Bank, an event that also offers donors a shopping discount in the store that day. Anyone who comes in and contributes at least $5 gets a 5-gallon utility bucket along with 20 percent off on almost anything in the store that fits in it.

Volunteers and staff from the Windsor Food & Fuel Bank will personally accept donations and thank everyone for their generosity.

“Now more than ever, it is important that our community steps up to support our neighbors and we hope many people stop by on November 14th to help the Windsor Food & Fuel Bank,” explains Scott Hoffman, owner of Windsor Ace Hardware. “Since many are looking for a way to share a little ‘giving spirit’ this time of year, we hope to raise many dollars and lots of public awareness for this local nonprofit organization.”
