Found pennies come from heaven
That’s what my grandpa told me.
He said Angels tossed them down
Oh, how I loved that story!
So goes the Charles Mashburn poem, a cute ode to found money.
The Congregational Church of Middlebury is living its own version of the poem, and it speaks to a much larger sum $300,000 recently donated by a distant angel dedicated to easing the financial burdens of Middlebury-area restaurants and farms hurt by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
