Robinson's Bread for Life Donation Helps Fund School Breakfasts

The following article was submitted by Linda Mendelsohn with Southington Bread for Life.

Southington resident Curtis Robinson recently gave a substantial donation to Bread for Life. Robinson asked that this donation be used to help fund the continuation of the breakfast program that is available to students in all .

As he presented a check to Eldon Hafford, executive director of Southington Bread for Life, and Bread for Life Board Chairman Bill McDougall, Robinson said, "no child should go without breakfast. As long as I am a resident in the town of Southington, I will support Bread for Life’s programs so our town’s seniors, shut-ins and children will not go hungry.”

"Curtis has been a great friend to Bread for Life," McDougall said, "because of his on-going generosity, and the generous support of the Southington community, we have been able to expand Bread for Life’s mission ‘that no one may go hungry’." 

"The number of individuals needing our assistance has grown substantially over the past few years, yet we have not only been able to keep up with the need, but we have continued to expand our reach to those in need. We could not have done this without supporters like Mr. Robinson. In collaboration with the Southington Board of Education, the breakfast program at all Southington public schools will continue for the 2012-2013 school year."
