Bristol DTC Volunteer Day at For Goodness Sake
The Bristol Democratic Town Committee was proud to host a volunteer event at For Goodness Sake, Inc., on June 30, 2018.
Many of our members showed up and chipped in, getting dirty and dusty in the FGS warehouse, and helping to foster FGS's worthwhile mission.
FGS is a local non-profit organization that provides direct aid, such as furniture and household goods, to individuals and families who are making the transition from homelessness and crisis situations to independent living.
FGS accepts donations. They encourage you to drop off your household items at the warehouse, located at 273 Riverside Avenue in Bristol. For detailed information about how you can help, check out their website.

Democrats Lead the Charge
Democratic Mayor, Ellen Zoppo-Sassu, and our Bristol City Councilors are leading the charge
on improving government efficiency, cutting costs intelligently, and putting some additional money into the City's coffers.
This Bristol Press article discusses recent changes made by the administration. Among these initiatives, the City has consolidated management-level positions, resulting in cost savings. They brokered a deal to provide building inspector services to Plainville, which is a new source of revenue for Bristol.
