Food Distribution

Posted on December 3, 2021 by Preston

The next food distribution will be held on Friday, December 3rd
at the Preston Senior Center from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. United Community & Family
Services coordinates this wonderful program each and every month. I have been
told that as long as there is a need in Preston, they will keep the program operating. UCFS has a superb group of individuals who brave the rain, snow and
sunshine (like the mailman) to ensure that the program survives. The program
doesn’t happen by itself either! Cathy Brosnan and First Selectwoman Sandra
Allyn-Gauthier work tirelessly to keep the traffic flowing smoothly and distribute
the bags of food into each and every vehicle in attendance. We do have many,
many Preston residents participate but the program is open to everyone, no
matter where they live. Truly an important program for our community and
beyond.
