People enter the work with a variety of interests, availability and motivations. We strive to match these with appropriate FRESH projects and programs. If you share our goals and are inspired to join our efforts, please don’t hesitate to contact us so we can explore how we can work together to make change in the food system: freshnewlondon@hotmail.com or call Emily at 860-444-8050 ext. 14.

Make a Contribution

Throughout our history, one of the sustaining factors in our success has been support from individual contributors and small groups in the extended community of FRESH New London. We could not have begun this work without the conviction and generosity of a few local supporters. This continues to be a huge source of financial support and one of the cornerstones of our long-term sustainability.

Please consider making a donation today to FRESH and be part of allowing the work of food system transformation to continue one eater at a time!
