Acts 4 Ministry, Inc., a non-denominational non-profit organization in Waterbury, received a generous amount of donations of socks, scarves, gloves, underwear, and mittens for adults and children, plus grocery and department store gift cards, from the dozens of members of several Waterbury Service Clubs who attended an Annual Holiday Luncheon organized by the Waterbury Exchange Club on December 6.
