Community Snacks and Peeled Snacks Helps Provide 300,000 Meals for Connecticut Families with Connecticut Foodshare

Last week, members of the Community Snacks and Peeled Snacks team visited Connecticut Foodshare for a check presentation that celebrated a meaningful milestone in the fight against hunger in our state.

On World Hunger Day, Community Snacks and Peeled Snacks donated $25,000 to Connecticut Foodshare's matching program. That gift, combined with contributions from other generous supporters, helped the campaign raise more than $170,000. This is the equivalent of 300,000 meals for individuals and families across Connecticut.

Putting Our Hands to Work

We wanted to do more than write a check, so our team spent the afternoon volunteering in Connecticut Foodshare's warehouse. In just three and a half hours, we sorted 8,701 pounds of food. That's about 7,250 meals, and they were headed to families' tables the very next day.

Seeing how quickly donated food moves from the warehouse into the community was a powerful reminder of how much of an impact every hour and every dollar can make.
