Farmington Community Chest

The Farmington Community Chest and The Farmington Police Benevolent Association held a Wine Tasting on November 1 to raise funds the these two organizations.  The Bottle Shop of Unionville provided a variety of wine, beer and other spirits at The Farmington Club.  The Bottle Shop also donated a portion of event sales to the two charities.

This fundraiser was a huge success with over $9,000 raised to support the two groups endeavors in Farmington.  A check for $7,000 was presented to Farmington Community Chest by Office Joe Capodiferro of the Farmington Police Department PBA.

The PBA offers support to retired police officers and supports a variety of charities in Farmington.  Farmington Community Chest supports all Farmington Residents with its programs including Farmington Food Pantry, Scholarships, Veterans programs, school program, Unionville Village Improvement Association, Social Services, Senior Services and much more.  Community Chest also administers the Farmington Fuel Bank offering emergency energy assistance to residents in need.
