A lot of things have happened in the past few weeks to put a huge crimp on
our plans for conducting a food distribution during the months of February and
March. That last storm created a huge mess for Norwich and surrounding areas,
including the United Community & Family Services facility. When the Yantic River overflowed its banks, it traveled across the street to the UCFS building lower level where all of the food was stored! You can just imagine the devastation as the entire lower level needs to be torn out. Consequently, we will not be conducting food distributions during the month of February and probably the month of March. We will keep you posted as to the progress being made, fingers crossed and hopefully we can resume the program in April.
As an option for participants of our food distribution I would like to remind you of the Preston City Congregational Church Food Pantry. They distribute food on the 3rd Wednesday of each month between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and noon. The Preston City Congregational Church is located at 321 Route 164, Preston. All are welcome to participate.
