Vernon Delegation to Host Food Drive in Memory of Bryan Flint Sr.

October 11, 2023

 

In May, we tragically lost a true pillar of our greater Vernon community – Bryan Flint Sr.

To honor Bryan's spirit of giving to his community, the Vernon Legislative Delegation will host a Vernon Community Food Drive in his memory to benefit The Cornerstone Foundation where he served as the deputy director. This is a bipartisan effort, including Reps. Jaime Foster, Kevin Brown, Tammy Nuccio, & Sen. Jeff Gordon, as they take in donations.

The main food drive will be held on Oct. 21 from 12:30 to 3 p.m. at St. Bernard Church at 25 St. Bernard Terrace in Vernon. If you can’t make it on October 21, starting Oct. 10, food donation boxes will be placed at Vernon Town Hall (14 Park Place), Rockville Public Library (52 Union St., Vernon), and St. Bernard Church. The boxes will be in place until Oct. 20.

Here are some of the items that are needed by Cornerstone:

  • Tuna
  • Canned meats
  • Pasta
  • Rice
  • Pasta sauces
  • Peanut butter
  • Paper towels
  • Toilet paper
  • Other basic toiletries

A food drive in memory of Bryan Flint Sr. will be held on October 21, as well as drop-off locations around Vernon until October 20.
