"I’m just glad that Connecticut Foodshare partners with St. Vincent De Paul Mission. If it wasn’t for this place, I probably wouldn’t be where I’m at now. I empathize with these people that come here and I’m grateful for what I have. I feel good for just the little bit I can do."

"We are so thankful to get any help to put yummy food on our table. It helps with the financial burden. We are a large family and with the cost of groceries, it can add up fast."
