Meet Your Neighbors, Grace and Baby Josie

Meet Grace and Baby Josie, visiting a Connecticut Foodshare mobile food pantry.

Moms like Grace, and her daughter Josie, visit Connecticut Foodshare mobile pantries so they can stretch ever-tightening budgets and get the groceries they need.

Our Connecticut Foodshare staff visit our mobile food pantries regularly, and when we do, we like to meet and get to know our neighbors who use this resource. On the move, like most parents are these days, Grace stopped to chat with us briefly so she could express her thanks for the good food like fruit, veggies, and dairy, that keeps her family going.


About 1/3 of the food we provide to our neighbors is fresh produce and much of that is distributed through our over 110 mobile food pantry locations. Our mobile food pantries provide this food no questions asked/no ID required, as we understand that food insecurity can happen at any time, to any person, and we are here to help in the moment of need. Everyone deserves to have enough healthy food to thrive, and no one should have to worry where their next meal is coming from.


Your support makes a tremendous, positive impact on families and kids like Grace and Josie. Thank you for caring for the people in Connecticut who are struggling to access enough healthy food to thrive.
