United Way of Greater New Haven rallies volunteers to distribute turkeys and Thanksgiving groceries to seniors in New Haven
New Haven, CT — Join United Way of Greater New Haven as we partner with Vertical Church to distribute over 100 turkeys and other Thanksgiving grocery items to seniors in New Haven at the Atwater Senior Center.
On Friday, November 21, a team of volunteers will work together to set up a food pantry and distribute Thanksgiving groceries to seniors. According to the latest ALICE data,
nearly
210,000 of Connecticut’s 65+ households were below the ALICE Threshold* and struggle to afford basic necessities. As economic hardships continue to grow for the senior population, these events are critical
to ensuring households can stretch their budgets.
Friday, 11/21, 9:15 AM – 10:30 AM: Thanksgiving Groceries & Turkey Distribution
VISUALS: Volunteers unloading food donations, setting up the food pantry, distributing to seniors
WHAT: Photo, video, and interview opportunity
WHEN: Friday, 11/21, 9:15 AM – 10:30 AM
LOCATION: Atwater Senior Center, 26 Atwater St, New Haven, CT, 06513
WHO: Volunteers and staff from United Way of Greater New Haven, staff from Vertical Church
*ALICE: Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed — households that earn above the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) but cannot afford the basic cost of living in their county. Despite struggling to make ends meet, ALICE households often do not qualify for
public assistance.
