Thompson Fire Companies Collect Holiday Donations For TEEG

THOMPSON — Even after Saturday’s food drive on Thompson Common, residents can still help stock the local pantry. TEEG says its community markets need cereal, soups, pasta and sauce, canned meat, peanut butter and personal hygiene items.

The East Thompson Volunteer Fire Department and Thompson Fire Engine Company collected food and money for TEEG on November 14. East Thompson Assistant Chief Kristal Fifield told WINY Radio that the donations would support Thanksgiving and Christmas assistance. A collection total was not announced in the station’s report.

TEEG’s Thompson market is at 15 Thatcher Road in North Grosvenordale. The organization says it can also accept fresh produce and frozen items. Donors or residents seeking an appointment can call TEEG at 860-923-3458.
