Announcement
For the sake of transparency, the Groton Neighborhood Food Project as a legal entity is dissolving. The good news is many of you may not have been aware it was a separate entity and there is NO change to you. Neighborhood coordinators and food donors will continue to participate in our bi-monthly collections the same way as done today. All neighborhood food collection efforts will be managed by Loaves and Fishes directly. This behind the scenes change is being done to streamline efforts.
Stay tuned for updates!

Hunger In Groton?
If you’re standing in a line somewhere in town, one of the eight people around you probably hasn’t had enough to eat. And if your child is in a class of 28 people, 7 of their classmates may not be sure where their next meal is coming from.
Why Are So Many Hungry?
Many of our neighbors simply can’t afford to buy enough food—even when they’re working. Feeding America reports that at least 1/3 of all American families who get help with food have one or more people working.

A Silver Lining
If 60 million Americans are “food insecure,” then about 250 million Americans are not. This means that there are plenty of people who can afford to offer a little help. You may be one of them.
