About Event

Join us for an in-depth conversation on Fairfield County’s Community Foundation (FCCF)’s Food Security Fund and how it is helping sustain and strengthen our community’s food network as resources grow tighter.

The event will explore the scale and drivers of food insecurity in Fairfield County, highlighting the realities facing families and the community organizations working closest to the issue.

Speakers will share insights into the fund's grantmaking approach, including the types of grantees supported and the strategies being advanced to strengthen long-term food security. Participants will also gain a clearer understanding of ongoing policy challenges and opportunities shaping the local food system.

This gathering aims to inspire collaboration and mobilize support for initiatives that are expanding access, equity, and resilience in Fairfield County’s food landscape.
