A law firm came in an hour early, packed 250 peanut butter and jelly lunches, and filled an SUV for the Soup Kitchen.
On Friday, August 17, attorneys and staff at Carmody Torrance came into the office an hour early armed with aprons and supplies to prepare brown bag lunches for the Greater Waterbury Interfaith Ministries (GWIM) Soup Kitchen. Groups of volunteers made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and assembled the bags. Each brown bag held a sandwich, a juice box, and a healthy snack.
The project was organized by the firm’s women’s initiative, Women@Carmody. Co-chairs Isa Squicciarini and Jen Calcagni delivered the 250 bagged lunches, enough to fill a large SUV, to St. John’s Church on the Waterbury Green just before noon on Friday. Barbara Dublin, Executive Director of GWIM, was there to receive the bags, saying simply, “You saved us.”
Your team can do this too. A lunch drive, a service morning, a food drive at the office: see our Partnerships page or call 203-757-7734 to set one up.
