Uniting for United Food Drive Collection Day

This year marks the 10th annual Uniting for United Food Drive!

The event was launched in 2015 by local organizers Dan Spellman and Cassandra Giovanni with the goal of bringing businesses together to combat hunger in New London County. Since then, it has become a highly anticipated annual tradition. The food drive will support the Gemma E. Moran United Way/Labor Food Center, which provides food to over 23,500 individuals (about the seating capacity of Madison Square Garden) each month through its 65 partners and five monthly mobile food pantries.

Genesis House Emergency Domestic Violence Shelter is the only shelter of its type to serve victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and trafficking in Southeastern Connecticut. The program location is confidential, as per Connecticut General Statue (C.G.S.) Chapter 138b, Section 8-360.
