Community Relations:

Media

 

Connecticut Food Bank values its special relationship with the media. Through partnerships during our Thanksgiving food drives or the Walk Against Hunger and via interviews and coverage, area media have been integral for CFB to keep the community aware about hunger in Connecticut.

Executive Director Nancy Carrington and members of CFB staff are available for live or taped television and radio stories, as well as print interviews. Connecticut Food Bank also welcomes inquiries about hunger statistics, the availability of resources, and advocacy.

To request an interview, please contact the Development Department at cfb@ctfoodbank.org or (203) 469-5000.
