Neighbor-to-Neighbor Food Drive
It is always a good time to think of people in Greenwich who are food insecure and are worried about what they will be able to get on the table to feed their families.
The First Bank of Greenwich, in partnership with Neighbor-to-Neighbor, is holding its second annual food drive. Donations are being collected until March 2 and the goal is to outdo last year’s total of 3,764 pounds. And this is not a case where people need to lug bags of groceries to the bank. The donations can be made online.
Go to https://amplify.ampyourgood.com/user/campaigns/4241, to find out more about this partnership and make a donation. The “DONATE” button on the site takes you to the donation store where you can pick out what items you want to purchase and get them. Once the drive is over, the items will be delivered directly to Neighbor-to-Neighbor for distribution to its clients.

Safety Town Returns to Greenwich
Safety Town had long been one of the most popular programs put out for kids in town to help them learn valuable safety tips while also having a lot of fun. The pandemic had put the brakes on this program for the last few years, but it is back for 2023 and the American Red Cross is seeking people to help as instructors.
Safety Town is a comprehensive one-week safety education program that has been a summer tradition in town thanks to the American Red Cross’ Metro NY North Chapter. Kids who are entering kindergarten this coming fall learn about awareness and accident prevention skills by taking part in fun and interactive activities.
Instructors and assistant instructors are needed for this event which will be held both the weeks of June 5 and June 12 at the Dorothy Hamill Skating Rink at 1 Sue Merz Way.
Anyone signing up for these positions must be 16 or older and pass a background check with the town.
Anyone interested in applying for these positions can send a resume and a cover letter outlining their pertinent experience to Safetytown.GNY@redcross.org |
