Taking the grandkids to the donut shop has become a weekend tradition and like all good things now it is gone. We showed up at Danbury Cares this morning like so many other weekend mornings and the shop was gone. No more donuts.
I owe these folks some kind of thank you. This was not an ordinary donut shop, this was special. The owners make these great donuts as a way to donate to the small town of Danbury. They even made the effort to move their shop from its original location and created a nice business that most tourists probably did not realize was all a charity.
I first wrote about Danbury Cares in 2015 and that post tells the story of the retired couple responsible for the venture. Today we found a short post in the local paper noting the end of the venture. There was not as much information as I would have wanted, but these folks probably wanted it this way.
Goodbye Danbury Cares and thanks for the goodies. I happened to take a picture of some of the donuts from what turned out to be our last visit. Not shown are the key lime donuts which were taken during the first choice round we have had to enforce to give everyone a fair chance.
