Addressing Food Insecurity in 2024

To provide a more dignified Client Choice small-market experience to our guests, we moved to the VFW in Jan'24. This location is in a food desert area of New London and provides much easier access for our guests.

 

However, due to rising grocery costs, lowering of SNAP benefits, and a 73% YoY (Q2 2023-24) increase in the number of guests / meals served (>270 families/week), our budget has increased significantly. We project 50,100 guests for 2024. Since we are all-volunteer, all donated funds will be used for food purchase and rent.
