On behalf of the Muslim Coalition of Connecticut I would like to thank every individual who served at the shelter. We served 160 men, women and children and all were so grateful for the good quality food we served. Many asked when we were returning! Thank you so much for your continued support in this venture.
Also thank you to all who donated soap which is an item in great demand at the  shelter.
Please let us know if you would like to serve or cook for the next shelter serve which will be on January 4, 2014.
