Meet Kay
Kay started volunteering at a New London food pantry during the pandemic.
She soaked up the positivity of the other volunteers and guests during that difficult time, but when she lost her job, she began to struggle financially.
“It's just such a basic fundamental need...being able to have food. If you don't, that's a constant stress, especially when you have a family."
She began using the pantry to make ends meet and keep food on the table for herself and her young son. Kay is now experiencing some relief and continues to be a lead volunteer at the pantry, signing up new visitors to the pantry, and also helping them shop if they need assistance.
"It's just one thing I'll never have to worry about - are we going to be hungry? No. It's a huge piece of mind."
