PUTNAM — The Putnam Business Association donated $4,000 to Daily Bread from September’s Savor the Flavor fundraiser, WINY Radio reported in a public newsroom post October 14.
The association’s own event page identifies September 13, 2026, as the tasting event’s scheduled date and names IHSP–Daily Bread as the beneficiary of all proceeds. Putnam’s municipal recreation page also lists the September 13 event and its pantry beneficiary. These organizer records establish the event’s purpose; the $4,000 figure comes from WINY’s donation report.
WINY’s caption identifies Daily Bread president Karen Osbrey as also the station’s owner. That connection is disclosed here rather than treating the station and pantry as wholly independent confirmations of the donation.
Daily Bread is operated by Interfaith Human Services of Putnam. Its website describes a client-choice pantry, where guests select needed food with a volunteer, and lists its location at Living Faith United Methodist Church, 51–53 Grove Street.
The pantry’s current service pages say appointments are required and walk-ins are not accepted. They list Monday and Friday daytime hours, Wednesday evenings, and additional daytime sessions on the second and fourth Wednesdays. Anyone seeking food should call 860-928-0169 to arrange a visit and confirm the available session.
The reviewed sources do not specify how this donation will be spent, how many households it will support or the precise date funds changed hands. No meal-count estimate or detailed accounting is inferred. The September tasting event has already passed; this is a report about its proceeds, not a new event announcement.
