Meet Tiffany
When we first met Tiffany, she was a full-time student living in a shelter in Torrington.
She came to the neighborhood community soup kitchen for meals between classes, and on the day we met her she sat down to a warm lunch of turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy..
“I'd go hungry during the day. I know I can come here during the week and on the weekends. They always have food for us. People actually care here."
Tiffany found much more than food at this soup kitchen, she found community - and it made all the difference in helping her get on her feet. She now has her own apartment and is working while finishing her degree.
"I'd had enough of that situation. I just want to be a good parent and that starts with taking care of myself, taking care of my mental health and making sure I am healthy."
