Old Saybrook: Shoreline firefighters holding huge food drive April 26

OLD SAYBROOK >> For the third year, CT shoreline fire departments will host an area-wide food drive to collect non-perishable food for area residents in need.

Local fire stations will be open to receive donations of non-perishable food on Saturday, April 26, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The donations will go to five local food pantries run by The Shoreline Soup Kitchens and Pantries (SSKP). The Shoreline Soup Kitchens & Pantries organization hopes to include all fire departments in the 11 shoreline towns they serve.

Visit Shoreline Soup Kitchens’ website at www.shorelinesoupkitchens.org. All area fire departments are welcome to participate. Participating fire departments ask those donating food to only drop off food on Saturday, April 26. Please do not drop off food before that date.
