'Tis the Season for Sharing

Woodbridge Human Services is seeking kind people

Woodbridge Human Services is asking residents to remember those in need--here in town and elsewhere--this holiday season. The Human Services Department is working with TEAM Inc. to collect toys for children in need for the Christmas holiday.

The TEAM Inc. Toys 4 Kids Program provides new toys for children from birth through age 12 and will include serving Woodbridge children. New toys unwrapped can be left in the collection box at Woodbridge Public Library, 10 Newton Road, Woodbridge from Wednesday, Nov. 9 through Saturday, Dec. 10.  TEAM Inc. is a Community Action Agency that serves 10 towns including Woodbridge. 

Woodbridge Human Services is also seeking sponsors to participate in the Adopt-A-Family Program. This program provides holiday food baskets for the December holidays to Woodbridge families in need.  “At this time, there are several families and seniors that need to be adopted,” says Mary Ellen LaRocca, Director of Human Services.
