CLAREMONT — United Way of Sullivan County and the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Department have joined forces to hold a “Stuff a Cruiser” event from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, March 22 at Shaw’s in Newport, and Market Basket and Hannaford in Claremont.
The nonperishable food will benefit the Claremont Soup Kitchen.
“We thought we would take this opportunity to support the wonderful work of the Claremont Soup Kitchen, said Dawn Ranney, executive director of United Way of Sullivan County.
“The cold winter months have been exceptionally hard for our friends and neighbors, so Sullivan County Sheriff John Simonds and I decided it was a great time to help.” Many donations come forward during the holiday season, but with additional winter heating expenses, the need is great. Simonds said.
The Claremont Soup Kitchen provides an essential service to those who find themselves food insecure. CSK has expanded its reach by adding additional services and locations in Sullivan County.
“A priority of United Way of Sullivan County has always been to support the local community in any way we can. By joining with the county sheriff’s department who share the same philosophy, we can further expand the benefit given to those less fortunate,” Ranney added.
