Holiday Basket Program
The community brought holiday cheer to 226 Suffield residents. SCA extends sincere thanks to the many individuals, families, organizations, churches, businesses and Town departments that helped to make the 2019 Holiday Basket Program such a great success. Eighty-six Suffield households, comprising 226 men, women and children, had a more enjoyable holiday season because of the generosity of others!
