📊 About Childhood Hunger

In Fairfield County, more than 33,000 children are not sure where their next meal will come from. Most will get breakfast and lunch from school every weekday, but many will go from Friday lunch until Monday at breakfast without a decent meal.

🤝 About Filling in the Blanks

Founded in 2013, Filling in the Blanks is an organization that fills in those weekend gaps by providing each child in its program with a bag filled with healthy, easy-to-prepare food for the weekend.

🌟 Impact of Food Security

• Increased Academic Achievement: When the obstacle of food insecurity is removed, children experience increased academic achievement in school.
• Greater Opportunities: This leads to greater opportunities for success in their lives.
• Service Statistics: FITB continuously serves 9200+ kids at over 200 sites throughout Fairfield, Westchester, and Putnam counties.
• Recent Launches: FITB has also established four in-school pantries and in 2023 launched the Fresh Food On The Move mobile pantry.
