The 4th Annual Golden Scoop Corporate Championship event was a rousing success! This friendly competition challenged folks to see who can scoop and bag pasta the fastest. The goal was the coveted Golden Scoop Trophy - but the impact was so much greater. The event helped Connecticut Foodshare raise funds to provide food for over 70,000 meals and the bags of pasta packed are going directly to families in our community. Thank you to the following organizations for participating in this event. Their support and spirit truly exemplify the meaning of community and partnership. Stop & Shop took back their title as winner of the night and Haven Hot Chicken came in second. We are also thankful to Nassau Financial Group, Stanley Black & Decker, Inc., and ConnectiCare. A special thank you to Conor Geary (Game Day Conor) for emceeing the night and to our food sponsors Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana and Shake Shack.

This is the most fantastic news!!!
Companies donate a lot of things to us here at Connecticut Foodshare: employee time, money, cans of food, frozen turkeys… but last week was the first time any company ever donated fuel! With 21 trucks, we spend A LOT of money on diesel fuel; so we were beyond thrilled when Global Partners donated a week’s work of their new eco-friendly diesel fuel to us! It was a very generous donation that will allow us to provide more than 10,000 additional meals to the people of Connecticut! Thanks so much to my old friend PJ Cimini for thinking of us!
