Connecticut Food Bank / Foodshare is announcing it will continue its emergency drive-thru distributions through September to serve the people in Connecticut who are struggling with hunger. Each site is estimated to serve up to 1000 households each week. In addition, fresh, Connecticut Grown produce will be available at all distributions.

“When we announced the extension of these emergency sites through the summer, we were hopeful that we would be starting to move beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. However, given the recent surge of the Delta variant, it is clear that we have not reached that point. We have not seen the attendance at these sites increase, but we have also not seen it decline. As such, we have decided to extend these distributions through September. As we have said throughout this pandemic, these distributions will not last forever. They are not sustainable or feasible in the long term. We encourage anybody in need to connect with their local food pantry as soon as possible,” said Jason Jakubowski, President & CEO, Connecticut Food Bank / Foodshare.
