• Litchfield County Board of Realtors’ “Have a Heart for Kids” program presented, on March 10, Wal-Mart, Kmart and Stop N’ Shop gift cards in the amount of $1,306 to representatives of the Torrington office of the state Department of Children and Families. Gift cards were donated because they are readily available for immediate use by DCF workers, enabling the creation of placement packs ahead of time for immediate use when an emergency situation develops, versus waiting for the release of funds from the state.
