Why Next Year Is About Food—and the Neighbors Who Need It

Food is more than a meal—it’s security, dignity, and the foundation of a strong, connected community. As we enter 2025, supporting local food programs in Connecticut is becoming one of the most meaningful ways we can care for one another here in Guilford and the surrounding Shoreline towns. Additionally, these efforts strengthen the social fabric that keeps our community strong.

At Page Insurance Ltd., we’ve spent decades helping individuals and families protect what matters most through services such as Auto Insurance, Home Insurance, and Personal Umbrella Insurance.
However, a recent letter from a local “Neighbor Helping Neighbor” organization reminded us that true security begins with human compassion—especially when it comes to ensuring no one goes hungry.

Food Insecurity Is Closer Than Many Realize in Connecticut

Across Connecticut—including right here in Guilford—families face rising living costs, medical expenses, caregiving responsibilities, and job changes that can quickly turn stability into uncertainty. As a result, more neighbors than ever are quietly struggling with food insecurity.

For example, organizations such as Meals on Wheels CT, community food banks, and volunteer networks show up with unwavering dedication. Their work makes an immediate impact for older adults, families, veterans, and others who may never ask for help but depend on it deeply.

Supporting local food programs in Connecticut enables each of us to contribute to the well-being of the people who share our roads, schools, businesses, and community spaces. In addition, it empowers organizations already creating meaningful change.

Why Community Support Matters

A community grows stronger when people step up for one another—not for recognition, but out of genuine care. Every day in Guilford, volunteers deliver meals, stock shelves, transport donations, and offer companionship to those who need support the most.

People give in different ways:

• Some donate food or essential items
• Others volunteer their time
• Many contribute financial resources
• And countless neighbors show up with kindness and a smile

Ultimately, this generosity keeps our community whole. It nourishes bodies, independence, and dignity.
