Harvest House IV Builds Saturday

Harvest House IV is here! A tent has been erected on the Shelton Riverwalk, and students from O'Brien Tech will be erecting the framework today. The entire community is invited to make those walls come alive with cans and boxes of non-perishable food items on Saturday. The house will be on display on Sunday, and on Monday it will disappear - and the food will be distributed to Valley food banks to help feed those in need.
