From the Alleviating
Hunger Committee: 2019
Westbrook has a large percentage of
households that are struggling to make ends meet. These include those below the poverty level and those above the poverty level but below the basic cost of living threshold. In August 2016, the Westbrook Council of Beaches established the Alleviating Hunger Committee to devise strategies to assist in alleviating this situation. Initiatives that have been undertaken or are in the planning stages include:
Food collection for local food pantries. If you happen to be free on a Tuesday between 1: 30 and 2:30, go to St. Marks to get an appreciation of what happens. We will continue our food collection. Options for contributing food.
- Bring to St. Marks between 9 am and 12 noon any Monday. Many of you have been doing this.
- Bring food to our meetings and we will make sure it gets to one of the food pantries.
- Get in touch with the Alleviating Hunger Committee and a pick up can be arranged.
- Stuff a Police cruiser event on July 6th.
- Please donate food to this event from 9 am-3 pm on the Westbrook Town Green.
(Note: we are finalizing a program to include fruits and vegetables from our gardens with food donations).
Working with Valley Shore YMCA assisting once again with their Vegetable garden.
Support of Westbrook Friday night meals at the Congregational Church- COB has seven volunteers assisting.
A system has been set up with the Town and Schools to identify needy families and children that the Council of Beaches members can make monetary or gift card donations to assist these individuals. If you would like to contribute please contact Elizabeth Carpenter, Westbrook Social Services Coordinator at ecarpenter@westbrookct.us. Her office is in Town Hall, next to the First Selectman’s Office. Her phone number is 860-399-3090.
