Connecticut Foodshare provides Thanksgiving food to partner food pantries that distribute groceries, as well as community kitchens and emergency shelters that prepare meals. 

Connecticut Foodshare purchases some turkeys and gift cards, but we rely heavily on corporate and community donations to meet our goal of providing a holiday meal for about 50,000 households through a combination of turkeys, chickens, and gift cards.

Connecticut Foodshare hopes to provide turkeys, gift cards, and TEFAP Chickens along with white potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and onions.

Connecticut Foodshare also distributes TEFAP whole chickens to eligible programs, as well as some gift cards. This helps us increase the number of households to which we can provide Thanksgiving food. We suggest that you provide a turkey, whole chicken, OR gift card to each household to cover the main dish, along with an allocation of produce to provide some side dishes.

Gift cards are very limited in number, and in most cases, allocation is based on proximity to participating stores to make it easier for neighbors to use the gift card to purchase their own turkey.

Our goal is to distribute our limited Thanksgiving donations as equitably as possible to reach partners and neighbors across the state. Thanksgiving allocations are based on the monthly reports for numbers served that your program provides to Connecticut Foodshare. Our goal is to divide our anticipated Thanksgiving donations proportionally across the network.
