UNION — Residents can help neighbors prepare for Thanksgiving by donating nonperishable food or grocery gift cards through November 19, according to the town’s holiday food-drive notice.
The Congregational Church of Union, Town of Union and Union Free Public Library are jointly organizing the collection. The notice offers three drop-off options: the church on Sundays from 9–11 a.m.; Town Hall on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m.–noon and Wednesdays from 9 a.m.–noon and 1–3 p.m.; and the library on Mondays from 1–5 p.m., Wednesdays from 1–7 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m.–2 p.m.
Town Hall is at 1043 Buckley Highway. The library is at 979 Buckley Highway; its current contact page confirms the listed library hours. Residents can call the town at 860-684-3812 or the library at 860-684-4913 to check arrangements before bringing donations.
The notice explicitly identifies November 19 as the Thanksgiving collection cutoff. It also mentions Christmas, but this report does not establish a separate Christmas deadline, recipient application process or meal-pickup date.
Eastern CT News prepared this AI-written report from the town’s public drive notice, the library’s contact page and the municipal profile. The newsroom has not independently observed collections or verified how many households will receive assistance.
