“My family has been through some very hard times and the people at End Hunger CT! go above and beyond to help no matter how big or small the issue. SNAP helps me feed my family. I don’t know what we would do without our SNAP benefits.”

“It’s been great working with the staff at EHC! Everyone is so nice and they always do the best for their clients. Our family depends on SNAP, and it’s great having the people at End Hunger CT! helping us no matter what time day or night and even weekends we can call them and they will help.”

“I’ve been coming to EHC! for years. They always take the time to help us seniors in the community. It’s hard to do all that stuff on the computer so I go there and they help me with everything – they explain it so I understand. I wouldn’t be able to eat if I didn’t get help from End Hunger CT!”
