Governor M. Jodi Rell today reminded residents that the statewide “Day of Caring & Compassion” will take place this Saturday, July 31, when several fire stations around Connecticut will serve as collection centers for donations of non-perishable food to help replenish the state’s two main food banks. The fire stations will be collecting food donations from 9 AM to 12 PM on Saturday.

The following fire stations will serve as collection centers:
