Foodshare, Connecticut Food Bank extend most emergency drive-thru distributions into May

There are weekly and bi-weekly sites available.

HARTFORD, Conn. — Connecticut Food Bank/Foodshare has announced that it will continue most of its emergency drive-thru distributions into May.

Check out the schedule below. 

“The USDA has announced that May will be the final month for the Farmers to Families food box program,” said Jason Jakubowski, President and CEO of Connecticut Food Bank/Foodshare. “These boxes were designed and implemented as a temporary emergency food relief effort, and we have been grateful for them during this particular pandemic – but they are not a permanent solution to hunger. We will distribute the boxes throughout May, and then we will determine our next plans for the summer months.”
