Westport, CT - For the past 12 years, Earth Animal has been offering support to the CT Food Bank. They have a program called CHIP (Child Hunger Impact Program) that assists over 2,500 families in Connecticut who struggle to feed their children over the weekends. The CT Food Bank understands the importance of well fed children resulting in a bright mind to teach at school each day.
Earth Animal has been diligent in offering its time and support each holiday season to this cause and continues to give 1% of its proceeds back to people, animals and the Earth each year. Earth Animal matches every penny donated and has had many other local businesses joining them to support to the cause: Adopt-A-Dog, Allied Printing Services, Anthony Musto Law Firm, Ash Creek, Black Rock Yacht Club and its members, Caitlyn Salon Studio, Choice Pet, Coldwell Banker, Fabicare Dry Cleaners, Flipside Restaurant, Friendly Cleaners, Grand Design Nails, Green Field Hill Groomers, Half Full Brewery, Inform Inc., J. McLaughlin- Southport, KL & Sam, Lachat Holiday Farmer's Market, La Moda, Millie Raes, Paul Harris of Cole Harris Architects, Styles, Trinity Church, Trumbull, CT, The Beer'd Brewing Co., Tusk, UPS Store-Westport, and Westport Hardware.
Earth Animal staff and other local company representatives will gather together this Wednesday, Jan. 29 to present a check to Valarie Schultz Wilson, CEO of the CT Food Bank. The presentation will be at 4:30PM at Earth Animal Store, 925 Post Road E., Westport, CT, and will be followed by a little "wine & cheese" party with all the businesses on hand for a personal thank you.
Supporters raised $12,695. With Earth Animal's match, the final donation to the CT Food Bank is $25,390, making it the largest donation yet, according to Susan Goldstein who will be presenting the check to Valarie.
