With the start of the holiday season just weeks away, a longtime, community-minded Windsor Center business is encouraging area residents to step up and come assist those in town who can use some help during these challenging times.
On Saturday, November 16th between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., Windsor Ace Hardware at 296 Broad St. will host its annual Fall fundraiser for the Windsor Food & Fuel Bank, an event that also offers donors a shopping discount inside the store that same day. Anyone who comes in and contributes at least $5 gets a 5-gallon utility bucket, along with 20 percent off on almost anything in the store that fits in it.
Volunteers from the Windsor Food & Fuel Bank will be at the Windsor Ace Hardware entrance in the Geissler’s Supermarket parking lot to personally accept donations and thank everyone for their generosity.

“We invite everyone in our community to stop by on November 16th to support the Windsor Food & Fuel Bank,” explains Scott Hoffman, owner of Windsor Ace Hardware. “Since many people are seeking ways to share a little ‘giving spirit’ locally this time of year, we hope to raise many dollars and lots of public awareness for this important hometown effort.” For more information about the November 16th fundraiser, call Windsor Ace Hardware at 860-688-8373.
