Norwich Logistics are being worked out this week for the city to join the statewide weekly food distribution network established by the Connecticut Food Bank and Foodshare starting next Monday at the former Foxwoods casino employee parking lot at 28 Stonington Road-Route 2 in Norwich.
Mayor Peter Nystrom said Monday that officials from Food Bank, local coordinators for the distribution, Mashantucket Pequot tribal and Norwich police all walked the expansive vacant parking lot on Friday to work out logistics for the site and to prepare for next Monday’s first distribution.
Nystrom said local agencies coordinating the distribution are seeking about 40 volunteers to staff six to eight drive-thru stations to place different types of food into recipients’ vehicles. To volunteer, call Norwich Human Services at (860) 823-3778 or St. Vincent de Paul Place soup kitchen at (860) 889-7374.
A positive COVID test and trip to Backus Hospital led doctors to diagnose a rare syndrome that likely would have killed Michael Wilson in a matter of days.
