CONNECTICUT, USA — The Connecticut Food Bank and Foodshare announced on Thursday the launching of three new food distributions.
The new locations are in New London, Norwich, and Norwalk and will replicate Foodshare's emergency drive-thru food distribution like the one at Rentschler Field.
“Hunger doesn’t care where you live,” said Jason Jakubowski, President, and CEO of Foodshare. “And hunger is not contained to any one region here in Connecticut. By launching these additional drive-thrus, COVID-conscious sites we are continuing to bring hope to the many Connecticut families affected by this pandemic.”
