Ticket Galaxy Makes Holiday Contribution to South Windsor Shelter

Submitted release

This week the employees of Ticket Galaxy got into the holiday giving spirit by collecting toys and essentials for children and families in need. The contribution was donated to Tri-Town Shelter Services, Inc. located in Vernon. Tri-Town Shelter Services, Inc. is an emergency shelter for displaced families and adult males and females experiencing temporary homelessness.

“Supporting local families is what this time of year is all about,” said Steve Kobelski, President of Ticket Galaxy. “Even one gift, no matter how big or how small, really means a lot to those who cannot afford to celebrate with gifts during the holiday season.”

On top of the toys donated by Ticket Galaxy, the company also collected everyday essentials for the families at the Shelter including hats, scarves, towels and backpacks.

Julie Rybacki, Service Coordinator the Tri-Town Shelter Services, Inc. showed her appreciation for the company’s generous gesture, “The adults and families that come to our emergency shelter are experiencing temporary homelessness and the holidays can make that situation even more difficult. Our mission is to provide a safe and stable environment for them to get back on their feet and these gifts will help them to do just that.”

Ticket Galaxy dropped off all of the contributions Vernon shelter on the morning of Thursday, Dec. 19.
