WILLINGTON, CT – State Rep. Tammy Nuccio (R-53rd District) is partnering with BSA Troop 82 for a food drive to benefit the Willington Human Services Food Pantry.

Food banks need assistance throughout the year and Rep. Nuccio is hoping that residents can lend a hand during the donation drive, because every can of vegetables, box of pasta, or bag of rice will "help the community."

Multiple drop-off locations will be available in Willington, and she will join the Boy Scouts of Troop 82 during an in-person drop off at the Willington Transfer Station.
