Fill the Bowl, Thanksgiving for All
Published : Wednesday, 07 Nov 2012, 2:43 PM EST
Carly Yearsley ,Child Nutrition Coordinator and Nancy Carringto, President & CEO, of Connecticut Food Bank are In The Kitchen to tell us about "Fill the Bowl, Thanksgiving for All".
Thanksgiving for All is a series of fundraising events and food drives hosted and sponsored by the community to help Connecticut Food Bank make Thanksgiving special for thousands of our neighbors who may be in danger of going without a holiday meal this year.
Please check our Web site, www.ctfoodbank.org , for dates and times of the food drives and events.
Connecticut Food Bank provides food to approximately 300,000 Connecticut residents through our network of 600 food-assistance programs.
The soup kitchens and food pantries we serve are experiencing a high demand for their services. Poverty is continuing to rise in Connecticut with 11% of residents having incomes under the Federal Poverty Level.
The need is greater this year as the unemployed and underemployed who were affected by the recent storm are recovering and need to replace food they may have lost due to flooding and power outages.
