FISH was excited to organize volunteers for a food drive in front of Stop & Shop in Torrington, in support of United Way's Stock The Shelves program, which provides groceries for food pantries in the region. This was part of the United Way Week of Caring, 2026. Thank you to our volunteers, Stop & Shop, and to everyone who contributes to our food drive! We are grateful for the generosity of our community in Northwest CT!

Hubbell Power Systems, with a branch in Winsted CT, had wonderful employees who rallied a food drive to benefit FISH as well as Salvation Army food pantry in Winsted.
We are so grateful to have such generous community partners, who we depend on to provide for our neighbors, as the cost of living soars.

Always grateful for the support we receive from our legislators! Imagine our world - nonprofits serving those in need and the vulnerable - the government could never manage to carry the load without our dedicated nonprofits - making the world a better place. Thank you, Joe!
