In celebration of National Volunteers Week La Stella Pasta & Pastry and La Stella are proud to honor the incredible volunteers who make Norwich the strong and compassionate community it is.
As a small token of our appreciation, we are providing $10 gift cards to our dedicated volunteers as a way to say thank you for everything you do.
The level of commitment shown by the volunteers at St. Vincent de Paul Place Norwich in the fight against food insecurity is truly inspiring. Your work makes a real impact on so many lives in our community. Your mission closely aligns with our own mission of caring for others and feeding those who are hungry.
We also want to recognize our brave men and women in Norwich’s volunteer fire departments
Yantic Fire Engine Company #1
Taftville Fire Co. #2
Occum Fire Department
East Great Plain Volunteer Fire Company
Laurel Hill Volunteer Fire Co. #6
Your willingness to put yourselves on the line for the safety and wellbeing of others speaks volumes about your character and your love for this city.
I’m incredibly proud to be part of a community where businesses and residents come together, putting people before politics and always showing up for each other.
To all of our volunteers please know how deeply you are appreciated by all of Norwich residents and tax payers. Norwich is stronger because of you ❤️
