What We Do

End Hunger CT! leads statewide efforts to end hunger through a combination of direct outreach, education, and advocacy. We work to connect individuals and families to nutrition programs while also fighting for long-term policy solutions that eliminate barriers to food access.

Our programs are designed to meet people where they are—whether that’s a family in need of SNAP benefits or a school district seeking universal school meals. Here’s what we do to build a hunger-free Connecticut:

SNAP Outreach & Assistance

We help individuals and families apply for and maintain their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Our trained staff provides one-on-one support with applications, eligibility screenings, and redetermination paperwork.

SNAP Education (SNAP-Ed)

Through SNAP-Ed, we provide nutrition education that promotes healthy eating on a budget. We offer cooking demos, grocery store tours, and resources that help families make informed food choices with their SNAP benefits.

Child Nutrition Programs

We work with schools and communities to increase participation in federal child nutrition programs like:
These programs ensure that children across Connecticut have access to the food they need to learn and grow—365 days a year.

School Meals 4 All CT

End Hunger CT! proudly leads the School Meals 4 All CT campaign, which advocates for universal free meals in public schools. No child should have to learn on an empty stomach.

Summer Meals Program

During the summer months, when school is out, many children lose access to regular meals. We promote and support free Summer Meals sites across the state, helping parents and children locate food resources when school is not in session.

Policy & Advocacy

We fight for systemic change by advocating at the state and federal levels for stronger, more equitable food policies. From protecting SNAP funding to pushing for school meal reform, we work to ensure no one in Connecticut goes hungry because of bureaucracy or budget cuts.
