Connecticut Foodshare supports individuals and families--from one end of the state to the other--by addressing root causes, addressing long-term solutions, and distributing nutritious food through local partner programs in an effort to alleviate hunger.
In Bridgeport we pack our senior supplemental kits that go out to income eligible seniors throughout the state of CT. This is an assembly style event where each volunteer is assigned a station and they pack their item into the kit at their station and send it down the line. Volunteers may also have to restock their stations however should not have to lift more than 10-15 pounds.
TRANSPORTATION IS PROVIDED. Please meet the Office of Community Engagement driver in front of the OCE office, HC109, located in the main academic building, down the hall from the print lab, at the scheduled time. Questions? Call the Office of Community Engagement main line at 203-365-4710 or just stop in. Please arrive promptly at 8:10 a.m.
