After a successful night of flappin’, swinging and fox trotting, SWARM is pleased to announce the 8th Annual Speakeasy raised a grand total of $9,500 for local food programs in Franklin County. They could not have done it without your full-on participation! From using the secret password at the door to tearing it up on the dance floor, SWARM is proud to be a part of this caring community.
Funds raised through donations from the following businesses have gone directly to Care and Share Food Closet, United Methodist Economic Ministry, Wilton Area Food Pantry, the RSU 9 Food Pantry and the RSU 73 Food Pantry. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the cause!
