Friendship Tours ‘Together We Can’ Food Drive & Plant Giveaway

December 7, 2020

Donate canned and non-perishable food items to receive a beautiful poinsettia plant for the holiday!

With so many of our neighbors struggling this holiday season, our colleagues at Friendship Tours have organized a food drive that will take place:

  • 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 9 at the West Hartford/New Britain DOT Park & Ride Lot – across from Target at Village Square Rd. and Hartford Rd.
  • 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 10 at the Manchester DOT Park & RIde Lot – 1515 Pleasant Valley Road – at the corner of Pleasant Valley Rd. and Buckland St.

In return for your generosity, you’ll receive a beautiful poinsettia plant to enjoy for the holidays. Plants have been donated by Michaels Greenhouses of Chesire, Conn. Please RSVP to let Friendship Tours know you will be bringing a food donation as they want to be sure to have enough plants on hand.

This will be a contactless event. Look for the Peter Pan bus parked in the lot. Stay in your car & open your trunk. Your non-perishable food donation will be collected and replaced with a live poinsettia plant! Have some kind of box or container to place the plant into. Click here for more details.
