Heads Up! Hartford Summer Camp At Foodshare

Last week, Foodshare received a big helping hand from Heads Up! Hartford’s summer campers.  The program is a faith based initiative which “brings urban and suburban students in the Greater Hartford area together to break down the barriers between them as they improve their city through integrated work groups”.  More than 40 high school students volunteered, sorting frozen meat at Foodshare’s headquarters, bagging fresh produce at our Regional Market, and gardening at Auer Farm in Bloomfield.  They helped us in our mission while having fun in the process, and we hope to see them again next summer!
