Getting the word out

Recently, Foodshare's President & CEO, James Arena-DeRosa, attended an event at Seabury in Bloomfield sponsored by the UCONN ALP (Adult Learning Program). James spoke to a group comprised of about 100 seniors on his own personal background and his decision to work in the area of social justice. He also spoke passionately about the need for school breakfast and the impact on our children.

Following his remarks, James entertained questions from the audience, and many left the session feeling inspired and with a greater knowledge of the causes and effects of hunger.
