Hello Friends,

Please forgive this late post, but we're hoping that you can help support Cheshire Food Drive, Inc. and the Food Voucher Program during the 2024 Great Give! Because of generous donations from people like you, the value of monthly Food Vouchers recently increased from $40 to $60 - this is a huge increase but one that was necessary due to increased food costs.

The Great Give begins tomorrow morning at 8:00 am through Thursday, May 2 at 8:00 pm. Please donate to us directly at: https://www.thegreatgive.org/organizations/cheshire-food-drive
This year we're also one of a select group of organizations working in food insecurity who are eligible to win $1800!

We're grateful for your donations at any time, however please try to help us win $1800 by donating at this specific time:
MAY 2, BETWEEN 10:00 AM AND 11:00 AM
If we receive AT LEAST 20 UNIQUE DONATIONS, of any amount, we'd qualify to be the one organization randomly drawn to win $1800!

Thank you so much, and please share this information with your family and friends. We only need 20 people to be eligible to win this grant money and we'd be grateful if you were one of them!

Thank you!

The Cheshire Food Drive is over for 2023! Big thanks to the many scout troops, student groups, local restaurants, individuals, Stop & Shop, First Congregational Church of Cheshire, the Hometown Foundation, and each and every person who donated a food item or some money or spent some time volunteering!
We don’t “celebrate” 50 years of hosting a food drive, but we absolutely celebrate the community spirit of neighbors helping to feed their neighbors.
Thank you for over 18,462 food items donated and thousands of dollars raised to keep funding the town’s Food Voucher Program!

DAY 2
We had a wonderful turnout yesterday, with volunteers on the First Congregational Church green and at Stop & Shop, and so many donations!

It looks like we'll have another amazing day today.

We can't wait to get started at 9:00 and welcome volunteers (of all ages) to date and sort donations. We'll stay on the green until 3:00--or until everything has been boxed up and tucked into the truck so generously donated for the weekend by Bozzuto's/The Hometown Foundation.

Together we can make a difference! Cheshire's community spirit burns bright. Let's fill that truck to help feed our neighbors!

In gratitude,
Cheshire Food Drive board of directors

I know this is a long shot, but Cheshire Food Drive, Inc. is looking for any pictures from the early days of the Cheshire Food Drive!
The 50th annual Cheshire Food Drive will be held this November 4 & 5 on the Church Green. This event has always been held the first weekend in November, so if anyone (or their parents or grandparents) has pictures of the Church Green in early November from 30, 40, 50 years ago, please share!
Thanks so much!
