Norwalk Cops To Deliver Relief Supplies To NY Sunday

Public asked to drop off donations at Police Headquarters.

Norwalk police officers are going to The Rockaways, Queens, Sunday to deliver relief supplies to victim's of superstorm Sandy.

The visit will be led by Officer Pat English in his Hot Off The Grill food truck, followed by a convoy of officers carrying food, tools and hygienic products.

"We hope to have enough food for 700 people," said Lt. Ashley Gonzalez Friday morning, who asked the media to publicize the event.

The trip is being coordinated through the organization www.596acres.org, whose website contains a list of needed supplies. A special request is made for donations of gasoline containers and anyone who can legally transport gas. 

Cash donations are also being accepted.

Donations should be dropped off in the lobby of Police Headquarters at 1 Monroe St., corner of South Main and Monroe streets in South Norwalk.

For further information, contact Sgt. Lisa Cotto at lcotto@norwalkct.org.

If you are looking to donate, please see www.596acres.org. Under "News" you will find a list of current needs. Please only donate items from that list. It is actually unhelpful to donate other goods that only take up volunteers time to sort, or valuable donation space. Thank you so much!

Why is it the panel for this event does not include a single advocate for gun-owners' rights? WithRead More all due respect to Chief McNamara, why does the panel not include a person who can speak to gun safety from a gun-owning civilian's perspective? ML, you claim that the assembled folks "do not offer judgements about gun ownership" but they are not including a single voice that can offer a perspective on gun ownership. I have been to "education" sessions sponsored by Meg's March for Change and they are one-sided indoctrinations into gun control advocacy. >>>> I was in Hartford for the public hearings in January when both Meg and March co-founder Nancy gave their personal testimonies and they all but threatened the legislators on the panel with election day retribution for all those who did not tow the gun-control line of thinking (i.e. March and CAGV). To suggest that Meg "does not offer judgements" is fallacious and disingenuous.
