The December holiday season is fast approaching. Let us be thankful for the many town employees, staff and volunteers who all work to make this season joyful and bright. Read on for news and upcoming events from various departments at Granby Town Hall.
Social Services is preparing for upcoming holiday celebrations. Through collected donations, the department provides food vouchers for both Thanksgiving and December holiday meals to families identified as low-income. In addition, the department coordinates a holiday sponsorship program for children up to age 16. The families submit their children’s wish lists, which are fulfilled by volunteer sponsors. This long-running program typically serves more than 25 families and more than 50 children.
If you are interested in volunteering or donating to these wonderful holiday programs, please contact Sandy Yost, director of Granby Human Services, at 860-844-5351.
During the Granby Police Department’s bi-annual Drug Take Back Day on Oct. 26, more than 140 pounds of unneeded prescriptions were collected and properly disposed of. Thank you to all who contributed safely!
The Transfer Station’s extra fall hours have ended, and the hours of operation return to Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
