BRATTLEBORO â The Windham County Branch of the NAACP has donated $2,021 to Loaves and Fishes, one of the mainstays serving food to Brattleboro area residents. The donation is part of the local NAACPâs community outreach and was made possible by contributions to the branchâs second annual (virtual) Freedom Fund Dinner, which was supported by more than 300 area residents. On May 7, the donation was presented by Branch President Steffen Gillom to Ruth Tilghman, who has been the director of Loaves and Fishes for 15 years. She oversees the organizationâs work in providing more than 600 meals a week as well as bags of groceries to community members. Gillom said, âThe Windham County NAACP is committed to improving the lives of all members of our community. We applaud and support the tremendous service offered by Loaves and Fishes to local residents.
