Twenty-three percent of Connecticut households with children are food-insecure. We believe deeply that all families deserve access to healthy, fresh food. Yet too often, this type of food is simply more expensive than low-to-moderate-income families can afford. Through our Healthy Savings program, we are able to make fresh produce more affordable and accessible for children, families, and older adults.

Recognizing that this work cannot be done in a silo, we continue to deepen our partnership and expand our work with the Stamford and Danbury Food Collaboratives. Through these two initiatives, and with the support of dozens of community partners, we are taking a holistic approach to address food insecurity in two of Connecticut’s largest and most diverse cities.

Through our advocacy, we promote long term supports for our neighbors in need.
