In the words of Director Theresa Halvorson-Lee, when Food Connect reached out in January 2025, they didn’t just ask what was needed, they listened. She shared that, since then, the difference has been remarkable. With their support on logistics, especially elder deliveries, food now arrives on time and intact, bringing a new level of consistency and care.
