For the 18th year in a row, the DiMatteo Group in Shelton distributed 128 Easter baskets to homeless children in the region.
Since the inception of this annual drive, more than 1,700 baskets have brightened the lives of thousands of area children in need. The majority of the funds for the baskets were contributed by donations and the DiMatteo Group.
Baskets were delivered to the following shelters: Norwalk Emergency Shelter and Domestic Violence Crisis Center, both in Norwalk, and Inspirica Inc. and Domestic Violence Crisis Center, both in Stamford.
