Volunteer Grants

Turn Your Volunteer Hours into More Meals

 Your time already makes a difference. Through your employer’s volunteer grant program, you can provide more meals for our neighbors facing hunger.

 

Many companies make donations to nonprofit organizations where their employees volunteer. If your employer offers this benefit, your volunteer hours with Connecticut Foodshare may qualify us for a grant at no cost to you.
