Sunrise Rotarians Collecting Food Donations Saturday at Saugatuck Congregational Church

When the Pandemic hit, many in the Norwalk community and surrounding towns were without the means to provide essentials for their families - including adequate food and other supplies. For many families in need, Person-To-Person (P2P). a non-profit charitable organization became their main source of support as is the case today.


To help their cause and to fill the P2P Norwalk Food Pantry, Westport Sunrise Rotary (WSR) volunteers will be receiving food donations at the rear parking lot of Saugatuck Congregational Church, 245 Post Road East, Westport CT 06880 on Saturday, June 26, 2021 from 10:00am - 2:00pm.
