Filling in the Blanks, a nonprofit organization in Norwalk, has been awarded a grant exceeding $100,000 from Impact Fairfield County.
The grant will support their "Fresh Food on the Move" mobile pantry initiative, aimed at combating local food insecurity.
The organization received the grant with a celebratory event at their warehouse.
"This is going to provide about 175,000 pounds of food to families. It's tremendously helpful, the mobile pantry is more than just food it's a community hub," says Shawnee Knight, President of Filling in the Blanks. Filling in the Blanks serves communities throughout the state all year long.
