Congressman Jim Himes visited the locally-owned Granola Bar today for a pop up sale benefiting community members recovering from substance abuse. "Rooting for You," founded by Yale medical students Rebecca Marks (Westport) and Ruchi Gupta (Houston), donates proceeds from the sale of plants to purchase other plants for people in their recovery.
