Sterling House Food Pantry

This year I've set a personal goal to run a 5k, 10k, and half marathon and figured why not make things a little more interesting by fundraising for a great cause while we’re at it!

Our first event (the Circle of Care 5k) was a massive success. 26 friends and family participated in the run and many others generously donated to the cause. In total, our team raised over $2500 for families of children with cancer. For the second event, we will be participating in the Hop River run (or walk) in Bolton, CT on August 6th. This race suits everyone, as there is both a 5k course and a 10k course.

For the upcoming 10k, I will be running to raise awareness and funds for Sterling House Community Center. Sterling House is located in Stratford, CT and has been serving the community since 1932. It functions as a preschool, after school program, summer camp, youth athletics program, and food pantry. Sterling House has always been a special part of my life. Throughout my childhood, I participated in many youth sports and camps, and now as an adult I have served as a basketball coach for the past three years. My family also has strong ties to Sterling House, and most recently my mom has been donating her time as a volunteer in the food pantry. The food pantry helps many people in our community, and lately with the increase in food prices there is an even greater need. Food, personal hygiene items and household cleaning supplies are a few examples of what your donations will be used for.

If you’d like to join the cause and support Sterling House help those in need, any size donation is greatly appreciated. 100% of your donation will go towards the food pantry.
