Residents and staff of Hoffman SummerWood Community recently continued their annual tradition of delivering a “thank you” lunch to the West Hartford Police Department, the local Fire Department and AMR Ambulance service. As a gesture of appreciation, several residents and staff delivered the lunches and had an opportunity to personally thank the dedicated police officers, fire fighters and medics. “It’s nice to let these individuals know how much we value the work they do…they are always here for us when we need them,” remarked Joan Carney, SummerWood’s Executive Director. The postal carrier, UPS and pharmacy delivery people also received a thank you lunch as they made their deliveries.
