United Way of Greater Waterbury's Day of Action to Stock the Pantry

Join us for our 21st Annual United Way Day of Action!  For more than two decades, on or around the longest day of the year has been a way to raise awareness and make a difference for one of the most impactful of our Basic Needs.

Our soup kitchens and food pantries have seen a staggering increase in demand just as inflation cuts into their resources.  But you can step up to help fill their empty shelves with food items that will keep kids from experiencing the summer slide — the tendency for students to lose some of their academic achievement when school ends.  This is especially true for students from lower-income households who depend on lunch programs to stave off the lack of reliable access to enough affordable, nutritious food needed to live an active, healthy life.
