Fun ways to support Chrysalis Center and help transform lives!
Across the country, food pantries often see a decline in donations during the summer months, but the need for food assistance remains constant. Through our Fresh Food, Fresh Start Campaign, you can help ensure individuals and families in Hartford’s North End continue to have access to fresh, nutritious food when they need it most.
Your support directly benefits Freshplace, an innovative client-choice food pantry that empowers families to select the foods that best meet their needs, including fresh produce, meats, dairy products, and pantry staples.
In addition to healthy food options, Freshplace provides personalized case management services designed to help individuals and families build long-term food security and greater stability.
