Person-To-Person Needs Food Donations For New Canaan Person-To-Person Needs Food Donations For New Canaan
Person-To-Person Needs Food Donations For New Canaan DARIEN, Conn. – Person-to-Person has seen an increased demand for food in Stamford, Darien and New Canaan recently. As a result, the nonprofit’s food pantry is running low, and it is reaching out for donations. “We are in dire need,” said Janet King, director of volunteers. Use of the food pantry has increased about 4 percent over this time last year, which King says translates to about 200 more people. The need for food increases in the summer because children who receive low-cost or free meals at school no longer have that source of food and rely more on food at home. At the start of the…

Darien Weighs Options To Cover Dump's Money Woes Darien Weighs Options To Cover Dump's Money Woes
Darien Weighs Options To Cover Dump's Money Woes DARIEN, Conn. – Darien is considering its options on offsetting some of the costs of the Darien transfer station. As use of the dump has declined, the town has subsidized its costs out of the general fund.  The revenue generated by the transfer station is much lower than cost of operating it, Public Works Director Bob Steeger said. As a result, the town is paying $350,000 a year out of its general fund to operate the transfer station. He expects it to reach $400,000 in the next couple of years. Use of the transfer station has steadily declined in recent years. Steeger predicts that in the 2…
