Jonathan Perkins Donates Over 300 Pounds Of Food To CT Food Bank

Injury lawyers helped collect healthy food to help local families for the holidays.

From Jonathan Perkins: Jonathan Perkins Injury Lawyers has helped make the season brighter for families in need by donating 316 pounds of food to the Connecticut Food Bank. The food was collected during the law firm’s first annual food drive to benefit the statewide nonprofit organization.

The practice accepted donations at its five locations- Bridgeport, Hartford, New London, Waterbury and Woodbridge. A team from Jonathan Perkins Injury Lawyers personally delivered the bounty to the Connecticut Food Bank’s warehouse in Bridgeport on December 18th. The hundreds of pounds of food equate to 216 meals that will feed residents across the state.

“I want to thank all our employees, community members and partners who made this effort so successful,” said Attorney Jonathan Perkins. “This first collection exceeded our own expectations and the generosity shown by everyone involved will go a long way in assisting our neighbors.”
