Birthday Gift Puts Food On The Table

The Minkos Family & James

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the Minkos family of Glastonbury, visited Foodshare to make a very special donation.

For Max’s seventh birthday he asked his friends to make a donation to Foodshare instead of buying him gifts and toys. He got this great idea from his older sister, Ania, who did the same thing when she turned six. We are excited to announce that the $240 Max collected in lieu of gifts for his birthday, will provide 600 meals for our hungry neighbors!

Max, thank you for helping Foodshare! We encourage you to continue to be a leader in hunger-prevention across Greater Hartford!
