HELP Feed Children in Need & Support CT Restaurants: Here's How!

If there was a way that YOU could instantly and directly help to feed a child in need while supporting our local CT restaurants, would you sign up? We certainly would and that is why we have partnered with Filling In The Blanks on an important new initiative. Please join us and read on…

Filling in the Blanks fights childhood hunger by providing children in need with meals on the weekends.  They partner with 63 local schools delivering their Weekend Meal bags to food-insecure children in Greenwich, New Canaan, Norwalk, Stamford, Fairfield, Westport, and Bedford Hills, NY.  Founded by mothers and community activists, Shawnee Knight and Tina Kramer, they responded to an urgent need to feed local school aged children who were struggling to get the nutrition they needed. In the wake of the pandemic, with hunger up 50% in Connecticut, they expanded their mission to include supporting our local CT restaurants as part of the solution to hunger in our community.

Filling In The Blanks feeds children in 63 schools throughout Fairfield and Westchester Counties and has delivered over ONE MILLION-weekend meals to children in low-income households.
