A Connecticut Christmas - for Connecticut Food Bank and Tiffany Farm, is a benefit for those in need of food this holiday season and Tiffany Farms who's lower barn burned to the ground in September 2010.
A time to help our neighbors. According to the Connecticut Food Bank, the need for food in Connecticut is up an incredible 30% over year ago and up a stunning 100% in areas where people never before had to ask for food.
About Tiffany Farms: Tiffany Farms, located in Lyme, CT has been in business since 1841 as a dairy farm in Connecticut. As we all know, the farming industry is in dire need of support all across America. Tiffany Farm is no exception and in addition to this need, Tiffany Farm had an incredibly unfortunate fire in their lower barn in September 2010. The barn held equipment, antiques and well over 1,000 bales of hay that were to feed the animals over the winter. This benefit will help to ease their pain of rebuilding the barn and feeding the animals.
You're invited to come celebrate the holiday season with us. Many people across the State are coming together to be a part of this wonderful event. The indoor Farmer's Market participants are donating 15% of their event proceeds that will go directly to Tiffany Farm. In addition to the Farmer's Market, there will be music, a holiday bell choir performance, coffee provided by Ashlawn Farm Cafe, tours of High Hopes Riding Center and many, many other surprises. Individuals to large Connecticut companies are jumping in. The excitement and participation around this event will continue to grow as we get closer to December 11, 2010. Additionally, a truck will be parked on the side of the event building at High Hopes to collect food donations for Connecticut Food Bank.
Your admission to the event is to bring at least one food item or a $5 dollar donation to Connecticut Food Bank. As an aside, did you know that according to Connecticut Food Bank your $5 donation can feed 17 people! 17 people!!! That is amazing and something we can all afford to give this holiday season.
