Women United of the Valley United Way is introducing “Feed the Valley,” a fundraiser taking place at participating restaurants from April 15 through June 1 to alleviate hunger in our community while supporting the restaurants and their employees as they recover from financial difficulties caused by COVID-19.
At the end of a meal at a participating restaurant, patrons will be asked if they would like to add a donation onto their bill through the restaurant’s point of sale system to support “Feed the Valley.”
Donations will be provided to Valley United Way partner agencies that support those who struggle with food insecurity, including the Kathleen C.B. Samela Memorial Food Bank, Salvation Army, Seymour Oxford Food Bank, Spooner House, and St. Vincent DePaul Food Bank.
“Women United is pleased to partner with 11 local restaurants to alleviate food insecurity in the five Valley towns of Ansonia, Derby, Oxford, Seymour and Shelton,” said Women United Chairperson Karen Stockla. “Restaurant owners and their employees understand the hardships that the pandemic has caused firsthand, so they were eager to help those who face hunger through this initiative.”
Donations can also be made online. CLICK HERE.
