Like adults, kids need to be physically active to stay healthy! After you pick a nice spot outside to have some family fun, try using a relay game that involves the entire family! You can use a game you already know or make up your own! #SnapEdWorks

Please check our Mobile Pantry calendar for updates. The format of our food distribution at our Mobile Pantry sites will change to keep volunteers and shoppers safe. Most sites are now drive-thru or a take-away, pre-packaged supply of food. ctfoodbank.org/get-help/conn…
