Greenwich Schools Receive Over 100 Grocery Gift Cards To Support Families In Need

GREENWICH, CT — A community effort across local grocery stores has raised $2,700 to fight childhood hunger, resulting in the donation of 108 grocery gift cards from Greenwich Public Schools to the local nonprofit Neighbor to Neighbor.

The gift cards — each valued at $25 — were provided to GPS through a partnership with Gift Card Bank and the Nourishing Neighbors campaign, supported by customer donations at the Greenwich and Riverside ACME stores and the Old Greenwich Kings store.

Last week, Superintendent of GPS Dr. Toni Jones delivered the gift cards to Neighbor to Neighbor Executive Director K. Brent Hill at the organization’s facility on Putnam Avenue.

Since 2024, the program has generated more than $14,000 in gift cards for GPS and Neighbor to Neighbor.

Neighbor to Neighbor, the only food pantry in Greenwich, provides access to nutritious food, clothing and essential items for residents in need.

The nonprofit’s mission is to strengthen the Greenwich community by providing access to nutritious food, clothing, and other essentials in an atmosphere of kindness and respect.

The donated gift cards will support local families facing food insecurity as the holidays approach.
