Happy Retirement to our Hunger Hero at Target of Enfield! For more than 10 years Gail facilitated the Connecticut Foodshare Retail Rescue Program which provided more than ONE MILLION pounds to just our program. In addition to food and toiletries, she went above and beyond to donate clothing, household items, and shoes that we could offer to our shoppers and share with other local charitable organizations. We are beyond grateful.

Look at the impact of the Lunch Link program! Thanks to all the support from sponsors and volunteers, so many kiddos had nutritious lunches all summer long.

It took more than 50 volunteers to make Lunch Link a success this year. Thank you to the sandwich makers at Felician Sisters, the sponsors who donated to support the program financially, and the many volunteers it took to staff both sites each week. Superstars - all of you!
