Our Food Pantry shelves are truly bare, we need:

  • Peanut Butter and Jelly
  • Oatmeal

  • Macaroni and Cheese
  • Coffee and Tea
  • Canned Tuna
  • Chicken Noodle Soup
  • Canned Spaghetti and Ravioli
  • Parmalat Milk
  • Pasta Sauce
  • Cookies and Crackers

We also need SHOPPING BAGS and GROCERY BAGS for our clients to use.

Food donations can be made both at Person-to-Person bins near the entrances at Darien supermarkets or directly at Person-to-Person's headquarters and food pantry, located at 1864 Post Rd., Darien, CT, behind .

I just called Staples. This is really disturbing to me. If I don't get a satisfactory answer, IRead More will let people know and I will also decide whether to continue shopping there. I do not like to give my money to unethical businesses.

This has convinced my growing conviction that Patch has moved completely away from any pretense ofRead More being a news source and is simply an electronic bulletin board. By abandoning their prior procedure of approving posts before they go up, they are letting anything go on and then taking them down if they're reported. By then, it's too late: the poster has gotten their message across during the time it's in the lineup. I only check in with Patch occasionally now and so many people in town won't read it at all anymore. I think we need to be honest with ourselves about what kind of a public forum this venue is. This doesn't reflect well on Staples if they are using subterfuge and violating Terms of Use on Patch either.

New Canaan hockey players are better off playing at Sono, Ridgefield or Stamford Youth Hockey.

welcome to New Canaan. We can waste it better than any other. Anyone need trees. I understandRead More that if you write a letter to the tree warden he will immediately put them in or take them out if you so desire. I would like 4 trees, free alarm monitoring and a sidewalk please.
