Giving Guide
"Giving is not just about making a donation. It is about making a difference." - Kathy Calvin
GIVE TIME
Bring your group together to sponsor a meaningful team building event at our location or yours. Activities can include serving in our dining room or food pantry, participating in facility improvement projects, filling back-to-school backpacks, preparing hygiene bags, and more. Ideal for workplace teams, conferences, or any type of group.
GIVE GOODS
Organize a drive in your community, school, church, or office! There are standard items that our patrons and families always need, such as hygiene items, non-perishable foods, sandwiches, and other seasonal necessities.
GIVE FINANCIALLY
If lending a hand or collecting items isn’t your thing, consider making a financial contribution through cash, stocks, a Qualified Charitable Donation (QCD) from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA), a memorial or honorary gift, a wedding, anniversary, birthday, or a legacy gift in your estate plan.
Opportunities for Businesses, Large Groups, or Conference Events:
Inspire your team or conference attendees to engage in a transformative team-building activity that fosters meaningful interactions centered around supporting and caring for others.
Your team will have the following takeaways from the event:
An unforgettable experience of collaboration and camaraderie.
A deep understanding of the scope of food insecurity in New London County.
An honorable mention on our social media.
A feeling of compassion, love, and joy that comes from serving others.
