| Windsor Social Services successfully launched a new program last week called "Groceries to Go." This is a project supported by the Windsor Hunger Action Team and Windsor Food and Fuel Bank. Groceries to Go is coordinated by one of our UCONN interns, Emily Royce, and Deb Sheldon. Groceries to Go is a nutritious, supplemental food program for seniors who meet income qualifications. The seniors get meals at the senior center weekdays, but what about the weekends? Now, every other Friday they will be provided with a bag full of food. Today's choices included; cereal, hot cocoa, soup, fruit cups, instant rice, cookies, English muffins, and meal replacement drink. Forty seniors are already participating in this new program.
