2024 Foodshare Walk Against Hunger
Lets Knock Hunger Out of the Park!
Friendship Service Center, Inc. is proud to participate in Connecticut Foodshare’s Annual Walk Against Hunger! This event is taking place on Saturday, May 4th, and we're excited to join hands with our community in raising awareness of the ongoing food insecurities faced by so many in our communities. At FSC, we're on the front lines of hunger, serving over 6,000 meals monthly through our Tomasso Family Community Kitchen. Our team aims to raise $20,000 this year to support our vital kitchen operations. 100% of every donation made will be directly helping our underfunded kitchen.
