PARC plans bottle drive on Oct. 4 for camp scholarships

PLAINVILLE – PARC, Inc. is planning its second can and bottle drive on Saturday, Oct. 4 to support scholarships for its annual Camp Trumbull held each summer. The Cindy Sunshine Campership Fund Can & Bottle Drive will be held 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the PARC building, 28 E. Maple St. Please make sure the donations are clean and dry, and are dropped off that morning.

The fundraiser is named in memory of Cindy Muller, a beloved staff member of PARC, Plainville Family Resource Network, and Plainville Community Schools. The fund has been established at PARC to ensure that children with developmental disabilities will be able to attend summer Camp Trumbull regardless of ability to pay.
