Today we spoke with President and CEO of Connecticut FoodShare Jason Jakubowski about hunger in our state. There are 169 towns in our state and unfortunately there is at least one person who is food insecure in each town. The CT FoodShare has many pantry locations across the state for those in need.
The Connecticut FoodShare's mission is to deliver an informed and equitable response to hunger by mobilizing community partners, volunteers, and supporters.

In 2004, The Travelers Championship launched the Birdies for Charity program, adopting a national model that has seen great success in other markets. Today, the Birdies for Charity program continues to develop and thrive and has become an easy and effective fundraising opportunity for every 501(c)(3) organization. Birdies for Charity is a giving platform that utilizes the excitement around the Travelers Championship to help nonprofits across the region raise awareness and funds to support their missions. Thanks to the support of Webster Bank, organizations have the opportunity to receive a 15% bonus on every donation through the program.
