State Representative Mark Tweedie (in the red hat) with volunteers in Manchester

The line of people needing food began forming 30 minutes before Foodshare’s Mobile truck arrived on a freezing Tuesday morning in March. State Representative Mark Tweedie visited the MACC distribution site (across from Saint Bridget Church) in Manchester to learn more about Foodshare and our efforts to distribute more food in Tolland County.

Representative Tweedie was elected in November, serving the 13th district which includes part of Manchester and part of Glastonbury. Prior to serving in the state legislature he owned a small business, Tweedie Dental Arts, LLC which created custom dental prosthetics such as crowns and bridges. In his current role, Representative Tweedie serves on the Appropriations, Environment and Veteran’s Affairs committees.

Foodshare looks forward to working with Representative Tweedie to fight hunger in the 13th District!
