Warm The Children Success!

The Register Citizen's Warm The Children program continued its tradition of providing warm winter clothing for needy children. Generous members of the community donated $10,438, which benefited 107 children!

Warm The Children

Thanks to the generosity of local residents and organizations, The Register Citizen's Warm The Children drive has raised $10,223! In light of the recent "vortex" bringing extremely cold weather down from Canada, these funds will no doubt be greatly appreciated by families that are unable to provide adequate winter outerwear for their children.  It's early in the winter season, so there's plenty of time to donate.  Send your contributions to the attention of Andrea Benedict, The Register Citizen, POB 58, Torrington, CT 06790. 

Warm The Children 25th Anniversary

The Register Citizen has set a goal of $25,000 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Warm The Children program.  Community support, however, is necessary to achieve this goal.  According to program coordinator Andrea Benedict, only $650 has been raised as of November 13.
All funds go directly to children in need, and the program is run so that the same families don't benefit from the program every year.  Each child is allotted $100 for a coat, boots, and warm clothing.  To register a child, parents should contact the Salvation Army at (860) 482-3569, FISH at (860) 482-7300, or call Friendly Hands Food Bank at (860) 482-3338.  Checks payable to the Warm The Children Fund can also be mailed to the Register Citizen, POB 58, Torrington, CT 06790 or delivered to their office at 59 Field Street in Torrington.

Warm The Children Program Underway

There's a chill in the air, which means that the Register Citizen's Warm the Children program needs donations.  Last year's program raised $10,260 that helped 111 children receive warm winter clothing.  According to program manager Andrea Benedict, the need is great, and she's already received many phone inquiries. 
Donations can be mailed to either the Register Citizen, POB 58, Torrington, CT 06790, or the United Way of Northwest CT, POB 1001, Torrington, CT 06790. 

Warm The Children Program Success

The Register Citizen's Warm The Children program raised $10,260, enabling them to buy clothing for 111 children, equalling the success of last year's program.
