Darien Human Services Gingerbread Man Tree Returns to the Lobby of Town Hall!
Although the economy has improved slightly, people continue to struggle and about 5% of Darien residents live at or below the poverty level. Every year during the holidays, Darien Human Services provides toys, gifts, clothing and gift cards to these families and seniors in need. Help bring some joy to your neighbors this holiday season by visiting our Gingerbread Man Tree located in the lobby of Town Hall. It is decorated with colorful gingerbread men labeled with various gift ideas:
• Help with a family dinner! Give a gift card to Subway, Shake Shack or Chipotle.
