Fun ways to support Chrysalis Center and help transform lives!
Donation Creation 2021 is a food drive with a twist! We invite friends, family, colleagues, civic or other organizations to create a team and collect nonperishable food items for Freshplace, Chrysalis Center’s innovative food pantry which serves the poorest areas of Hartford. Since the onset of the pandemic, Freshplace has been a critical source of fresh food for our clients and families. Our shelves are typically not as full during the summer months, so Donation Creation helps us keep the shelves full, and provide food to clients throughout the summer. This year our needs are greater than ever and our goal is to collect 5,000 non-perishable food items to feed our clients. HELP US REACH THIS GOAL!
This year, we are extending the drive for two months, so teams can collect food during the months of April & May, with a June 1st drop off deadline. As a fun twist, teams are invited to create a “sculpture” with the food donations, snap a photo and send it in to be entered into a contest. The most creative sculpture wins!
All food items help fill the shelves of Freshplace, and feed so many families in need.
