Volunteers Get Ready for Cheshire’s Lights of Hope

From Cheshire's Lights of Hope:

CHESHIRE, CT – Dozens of volunteers will gather at PAWS Pet Resort next week in the final push to prepare for this year’s Cheshire’s Lights of Hope on November 12.

The first volunteer nights will take place on Monday and Tuesday from 6 to 8 p.m. at PAWS, 312 East Johnson Ave. Over the course of both nights, volunteers from the community will assemble the luminary kits needed to light the town for this year’s event.

Volunteers will also gather at PAWS on November 1 and 2 from 6 to 8 p.m. to distribute orders to street captains, and on Nov. 7 to assemble boxes of luminaries for the Mile of Hope.

The organization’s annual luminary event has raised more than $700,000 since its inception. Proceeds have gone to organizations such as the Cheshire Community Food Pantry, Cheshire Department of Youth and Social Services, the Mari Hall Family Foundation and the Petit Family Foundation, as well as toward two scholarships for Cheshire students based on volunteerism within the community.
