AVON, CT, Apr. 20, 2020 – A Farmington-based massage therapy practice has found an on-line way to benefit Gifts of Love. The company, Abundant Health Massage Therapy & Wellness, is donating 25% of the proceeds from an on-line promotion to Gifts of Love and two other local non-profits, Avon Dollars for Scholars, and the Farmington Community Chest.

As an added incentive for customers to participate, Kristina Mozzicato, the business’ owner, is offering the gift certificates and massage packages at a 25% discount.” I know nonprofits are struggling and that Gifts of Love does a lot of good in the community,” she said. “This is win-win for them and for our business. It gives Gifts of Love some extra funds for the work they continue to do and a way to reward our customers for returning when we re-open after the social distancing rules are no longer in effect,” she said. They expect to reopen on May 20 or whenever they are authorized to do so by the Governor.

Abundant Health is no stranger to the work of Gifts of Love. In the past, the business has sponsored fundraising events and taken part in the Gifts of Love annual fundraising gala. They originally learned of Gifts of Love’s work through their involvement in the Avon Chamber of Commerce.
