Refill the Pantry
The Need is Great – You Can Help
Over 10 percent of Connecticut adults say they do not have enough money to buy food. According to estimates from Feeding America, more than 380,000 Connecticut residents struggle with hunger; more than 83,000 children are food insecure. These people include your neighbors.
You can make a difference. You can help “Refill the Pantries.” Ten collections are planned in 2024 to support five food pantries in the area. Last year’s nine food drives contributed 17,700 pounds of food and over $12,000 to the pantries.
Mark your calendar for Saturday, April 6. Our first collection will be at the Stop&Shop at 4531 Main Street, Bridgeport, for the Bishop Jean Williams Food Pantry.
Volunteer time slots are available 9-11, 11-1, 1-3, and 3-5:00.
