Our programs are designed to fill critical hunger gaps for kids and their families, but just as importantly, they do it without adding any extra hurdles for already-stressed parents. We don’t do it to earn extra credit; we do it because we get it and we’ve been there.
The families we serve find themselves in a variety of circumstances, sometimes temporary, sometimes longer-term. What they most frequently have in common is their sincere gratitude for a community that cares and is ready to help, no questions asked, no strings attached.
Our hearts are warmed and spirit renewed with each note of gratitude we receive, and as a vital part of this community, we extend every bit of it to you as well. Please enjoy these recent thank-yous as much as we have. Note that client names have been anonymized.
I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for the support your organization provides to families in Connecticut. As a parent with a child in Stratford schools, your food support has been truly helpful to my family during a very difficult financial time. There were moments when that extra support genuinely mattered, and I am very grateful for the work your organization is doing for families like mine.

I’m writing to you today about my daughters, who are students at [removed for privacy]. They’ve been part of the meal program, and I just wanted to start by saying a massive thank you.
Hello, I want to say thank you for this email of blessings. My family and I are struggling so much, and for me to receive this invite [to Fresh Food On the Move] is truly amazing. I am a paraplegic and cannot attend, but I will have my husband come. You truly are an angel.

Seriously, this program has been an absolute lifesaver for our family, and I’m sure for so many others in the school community. The effort and thought you all put into preparing and distributing those meals doesn’t go unnoticed – it truly makes a difference, and we’ve been so grateful for your generosity and commitment to the students’ well-being.
