Food banks face periods of greatest need between January and August — a time outside of traditional periods of giving and volunteering to coincide with the holiday season. Non-perishable items are requested by families daily, but the most frequently-requested items are those not covered by public assistance programs. These requests range from baby diapers to personal hygiene items such as toilet paper, feminine products and more.
“NBCCT has a long history of combatting food insecurity in the state. Knowing that the need is greatest this time of year, we’re proud to be hosting the state’s largest one-day food drive,” said Susan Tully, president and general manager of NBC Connecticut and Telemundo Connecticut. “Too many of our neighbors have to choose between putting food on the table and paying bills. We know our viewers will join us to help provide essential items to our communities in need.”
Master’s Manna, a Wallingford food bank, is one of several food banks across Connecticut that will be provided food from NBC Connecticut’s Feeding Our Families food drive.
The local food banks that will be joining NBC Connecticut and Telemundo Connecticut are:
