Services


Thank you to Jason Cormier and

Dur-A-Flex:Performance Flooring Solutions

of East Hartford for helping Hockanum Valley help . . .

Dur-a-flex recently held a food drive to help our pantry. Because the donation came in April 2nd it will count towards our Feinstein Challenge, which means it is worth double!

The employees of Dur-a-flex will be holding periodic food drives for us and for this we are most greatful.

The "Food of Month" for April is pasta and sauce. If you wish to find out how you can hold a food drive at your place of business call Faith, our Pantry Coordinator. No donation is too small and all donations are greatly appreciated.
