Windsor Food and Fuel Bank
Let no person go hungry, be cold, or go without basic necessities.
Many school children receive free or reduced meals during the school week. This can leave those same children lacking for food on the weekends. The Windsor Hunger Action Team created the Weekend Wheels program to help fill that gap. This program distributes supplementary food to children in need through Windsor elementary and middle schools every week during the school year. Children from eligible families will receive a backpack or drawstring bag filled with a variety of foods each Thursday or Friday to bring home for the weekend. This program is currently being offered to families whose children are enrolled at Clover Street School, John F. Kennedy School, Oliver Ellsworth School, Poquonock School and Sage Park Middle School. Homeschooled households can also participate. Click Here to view the eligibility requirements and for the different ways that you can register for this program. The need for donations for this program is great. Weekend Wheels is funded solely through the donations and support of local businesses, civic organizations, religious institutions, concerned residents and grant awards. If you are interested in donating to the program, please contact the program coordinator, Susan Nunes at 860-285-1839. Monetary donations are greatly appreciated.
