Connecticut Food Bank and Foodshare are in discussions to merge as one statewide organization and they announced the launch of three new food distributions in New London, Norwich and Norwalk. They said they will replicate Foodshare’s emergency drive-thru food distribution at Rentschler Field in East Hartford.
Food banks have seen an increase in need amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“Hunger doesn’t care where you live,” Jason Jakubowski, president and CEO of Foodshare, said in a statement. “And hunger is not contained to any one region here in Connecticut. By launching these additional drive-thru, COVID-conscious sites we are continuing to bring hope to the many Connecticut families affected by this pandemic.”
