When 21 volunteers show up at 7:30 this morning at the Hope 4 Life Food Pantry to assemble and distribute over 150 turkeys and 13 side items to accompany the Thanksgiving Dinner for families who are food insecure, amazing things happen!

We have never had so much gratitude expressed and so many people saying “thank you” for providing a Thanksgiving meal for their family. All I can say is that God Is Amazing and so are all of our volunteers!!!

Five days from today, Tuesday, November 25th the entire volunteer staff of our Hope 4 Life Food Pantry in Granby will work tirelessly to bless about 150 families that are food insecure and are in need of a Thanksgiving dinner this year.

The purpose of this post is to say “Thank You!” to the most incredible nonprofit organization in Connecticut that make this possible. The amazing leadership of Connecticut Foodshare, their dedicated staff and the over 5,000 volunteers work every day to make this possible for us at Hope 4 Life and hundreds of others food pantries across Connecticut.

Because of their unwavering support, two days before Thanksgiving, we’re giving away the following items to bless our neighboring families for their Thanksgiving meal;

Turkeys, chickens, stuffing, fresh carrots, fresh white potatoes, fresh sweet potatoes, fresh turnips, fresh turnip greens, fresh radishes, yellow onions, winter squash, bananas, apples, long grain rice, mac and cheese and pasta!

To the amazing team at Connecticut Foodshare under the leadership of Jason Jakubowski and of course our agency representative, Vinh Vuong, we want to give you all a “SHOUT OUT!”

This was three years ago and it’s worse today than it was then!

We could never do what we do at our food pantry without the generous support from the amazing team of people at Connecticut Foodshare!

Through his powerful street art, Kevin Lee shines a light on poverty and inspires conversations about compassion and change.

The child is depicted sitting on steps, being stepped on & stepped over to illustrate how invisible the poor living among us can be.

While billionaires and major corporations receive tax cuts,
American families and children who are food insecure
see their food supplement benefits significantly cut.
What is wrong with this nation?
What are we becoming?
