Our Holiday Meal Sign Ups are officially OPEN!!! 🎄❤️

Thanks to YOUR help, and the addition of several emergency shifts, we distributed a whopping 58,943 lbs of food to 668 families and 2116 individuals!!!!

Today we’re coming at you with an update on our Turkey Tally. Anyone else LOVE this kind of math? It’s like adding up KINDNESS!

Currently we have over 800 families registered. We expect that number to climb over 1,000 by the end of the day.

There’s a reason Thanksgiving is our director’s absolute FAVORITE holiday and that reason is way our COMMUNITY rallies around this entire operation.

Thanks to YOUR help, we distributed over 43907 lbs of food to over 1,654 individuals and 554 families!

Thanksgiving Basket registration is open until November 12th.

I would just like to share a few updates with you as we continue to navigate new and unknown times. The entire Seymour Oxford Food Bank team is working hard to do our part in making sure NO ONE goes without food not only NOW but ALWAYS.

“I think there’s a lot of heartbreak and as someone who has received SNAP benefits through different periods of my life, I can really tap into how that must feel for those families.” Walton says the food pantry has saw over 1,300 clients last month and she forecasts November’s numbers will be much higher. 

360,000 CT residents receive SNAP benefits each month to help keep food on the table. Our working families who simply do not earn enough to cover all their basic needs.

Congratulations, to our director Kristina Walton for being awarded the United Way CT ImpaCT Award for IMPACTFUL EMERGING LEADER!!!
