Thanksgiving for All

Connecticut Food Bank’s Thanksgiving for All campaign is a series of events and food drives hosted and sponsored by local civic and religious organizations, charitable foundations, businesses, media and supermarkets which help Connecticut Food Bank make Thanksgiving special for thousands of our neighbors in danger of going without a holiday meal.  Foodshare serves Hartford and Tolland counties; believes every American should have a turkey at Thanksgiving and food the rest of the year too.  But, there are more people in our community who need food than there is food to feed them, and many are at risk of not having a holiday meal.
