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 CT is becoming one of the most meaningful ways we can care for one another here in Guilford and the surrounding Shoreline towns.

At Page Insurance Ltd., we’ve spent decades helping individuals and families protect what matters most. But this year, a simple letter from a local “Neighbor Helping Neighbor” organization reminded us that true security begins with human care—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 bills, caregiving duties, and job changes that can suddenly turn stability into uncertainty.

Local groups like Meals on Wheels CT, community food banks, and volunteer networks continue to show up with courage and consistency. Their work makes a direct difference for seniors, families, veterans, and neighbors who quietly struggle with food insecurity.

Supporting local food programs in CT allows us to make a tangible, immediate impact on the people who share our roads, schools, businesses, and community spaces.

Why Community Support Matters

A community becomes stronger when people step up for one another—not for praise, but from genuine care. Every day in Guilford, volunteers deliver meals, stock shelves, transport donations, and offer companionship to those who need it most.

Some donate food.
Some donate time.
Some donate resources.
Some simply show up with a smile.

This quiet generosity keeps our community whole. It nourishes bodies, independence, and dignity.

How Page Insurance Will Support Food Programs in 2025

As a family-owned insurance agency serving Connecticut since 1943, our mission extends beyond Auto, Home, and Personal Umbrella Insurance. True protection begins with human well-being—including access to food.

In the year ahead, we’re committed to:

  1. Highlighting Local Needs

We’ll use our platform—including our blog—to raise awareness about food insecurity and spotlight organizations doing vital work.

  1. Sharing Ways to Get Involved

From donating non-perishable items to volunteering at community events, we’ll help connect people to opportunities that match their interests and abilities.

  1. Matching Donations During Key Initiatives

During major seasonal drives, we plan to match contributions to help amplify community impact.

  1. Partnering With Local Organizations

We look forward to collaborating with food banks, senior meal programs, and CT volunteer organizations to strengthen the safety net in our area.
