Food Bank – Lou Aiello
This probably isn’t the first time you’ve heard this in the past few years — but I assure you it’s true:
The need for food assistance in Connecticut is on the rise.
Last year, prices started going up and haven’t come back down. As a result, people from all walks of life are cutting back on healthy food to pay for other essentials like rent and utilities — and they’re desperate for relief.
Meanwhile, donations to Connecticut Foodshare have dropped off since the beginning of summer. This happens every year at this time and we plan for the slowdown, but it also means that your gift today is even more important. Our goal is to raise $100,000 to keep up with the high demand for food in Connecticut right now.
