WILLIMANTIC, CT — The sixth-annual Season of Giving for the Covenant Soup Kitchen and Make-A-Wish was deemed “a great success again this year.”
The campaign took in a total of $16,665 and $3,000 went to Make-A-Wish, and $13,665 to Covenant Soup Kitchen.
Food amounts collected for Covenant totaled 4,250 pounds and 1,630 pounds of that came from a competition held between the different shops at Windham Technical High School. The Electrical Shop came in First Place and won a pizza party provided by NAPA Willimantic Auto and Truck and Beaver Brook Saw Shop.
Sponsors of the giving appeal were NAPA Willimantic Auto and Truck, Beaver Brook Saw Shop, Miller Bros. Self-storage, Gates GMC Buick Nissan, Columbia Ford Kia, Wile Hyundai, and Capitol Garage Chrysler Jeep Ram, Shaboo Productions, Casella Waste Systems, The Bread Box, Scotland Spirits, and CC Lounsbury. Media sponsors, WILI/I98 and The Willimantic Chronicle, supported the Season of Giving by providing radio airtime and print advertising.
WRTD (Windham Region Transit District), operators of Husky Go Mansfield, had 41 collection boxes placed on buses throughout the city and UCONN.
“Their staff also went above and beyond by collecting a large food donation,” campaign officials said.
