The Derby-Shelton Rotary Club will deliver five-gallon buckets of a sand and salt mixture to seniors over 67 years old and to disabled individuals residing in Derby and Shelton between Dec. 5th — 9th, 2024.
The program has helped families since 2008. Kim Ryan, Derby-Shelton Community Chair and Past President, has heard many heart-warming stories of gratitude through the years. Some people were afraid of getting the mail in the icy conditions before they had their Rotary sand and salt. Others who had recently been on their own expressed what a big help it was to have the sand and salt delivered by community-minded Rotarians.
The deadline to sign up is Nov. 14.
If you have a bucket from a previous year’s delivery, please let Kim know. Also, if a senior resides in a housing complex that already provides sand, then they are not eligible for this program. The goal of this program is to help seniors over 67 and disabled individuals who really need help.
If you are interested in receiving a free sand and salt bucket, just sign up at the Shelton or Derby Senior Center. Or, if you prefer, you can also contact Kim Caro

Sand and salt delivery will be made between Dec 5th — Dec 9th. Also, please let Kim know if you have an empty bucket and leave it on their doorstep as we will recycle it for next year.
