Mobile Foodshare is an outdoor food distribution for persons of low income. The food choices vary from week to week but usually include bread and several types of fresh produce. One volunteer rides with a Foodshare driver and assists in distribution. We currently have an ongoing opportunity to work every other Tuesday 8:00am – 2:30pm, as well as an "on call" volunteer to help fill in for our regular volunteers. Please contact Edna for more information and availability.
SNAP Outreach
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the Food Stamp Program, is one of the most effective and efficient ways to end hunger in our state. This federal program currently serves more than 405,000 Connecticut residents, with thousands more applying each month. SNAP Outreach volunteers help by screening potential applicants and helping them through the application process. We are currently seeking screeners in the Enfield and Tolland areas. Our next Level 1 training session is February 3rd, 4:30pm – 7:30pm at Foodshare in Bloomfield. Contact Edna for more information and availability.
