The Community Dining Room is presently providing over 1000 meals each week with the help of over 100 consistent volunteers. The quantity of food products being used by our agency, being processed and distributed to hungry people, continues to increase. The CDR receives an important financial donation from Branford Community Foundation each year. These dollars are used to sustain the agency and its mission to assure all persons have access to enough food every day.”
