The Corner Food Pantry comes to the Salisbury Association

SALISBURY — Starting Aug. 3, the Salisbury Association will be hosting an exhibit on The Corner Food Pantry.

The exhibit at the Academy Building on 24 Main St in Salisbury will showcase the food pantry and all it does for northwest Connecticut. Visitors will learn more about the challenges of sourcing food and volunteers, and planning for the future.

Since 2019, the food pantry has served more than twice as many people every year. At the exhibit, visitors can come face to face with the people that volunteer and the hungry families they support, and learn more about the impacts of food insecurity.
