The National Letter Carriers Union held a countrywide food drive on May 12. We are indebted to the Letter Carriers in Branford whose extra time and effort resulted in the collection of over 14,000 pounds of non-perishable food. All of the food was rapidly sorted by many volunteers and will be used to feed Branford families in need of food assistance. We are also thankful to all of the residents of Branford for their continued support of the Food Pantry. Below are a few photos of the volunteers working .

We are starting a new program called "Snacks for Kids". Each week families will receive a bag containing 5 snack items for each chile to take to school. Please help to support this new effort by donating the following: pudding/jello cups; fruit cups; raisins (small boxes); cereal/granola bars; small bags of chips/cookies/pretzels; snack crackers; NO NUTS OR PEANUT PRODUCTS. Thanks for your help in this new effort.
In addition, we have an ongoing need for routine items such as cereal, peanut butter, soup, stew and coffee. Please consider sponsoring a drive to collect these items.
