You are currently viewing October 30, 2020 – Volunteer or Donate: EBECSA Drive-Thru Food Drive

The Electric Boat Employees’ Community Services Association (EBECSA) is hosting an emergency drive-thru food drive on November 7 (8AM – 1PM) at three Stop & Shop locations: Groton, Norwich and Waterford. Due to COVID, local pantries have been experiencing increased requests for food, and are running extremely low on supplies. You can help by making a donation or volunteering to help at the drive.

  • Trucks will be parked outside of all three Stop & Shop locations, making it convenient to drive up and drop off any food items you wish to donate.
    • Examples of food items needed include: boxed cereal, peanut butter (plastic jar), canned tuna, boxed pasta and pasta sauce (canned or plastic jar).
    • Examples of holiday food items needed include: boxed mashed potatoes, boxed stuffing, canned gravy, canned cranberry sauce and canned vegetables (green beans/corn).
  • If you cannot make it to one of the Stop & Shop locations, food donations can also be placed in the donation boxes at EB’s gates through Tuesday, November 10.
  • You can also text UWSECT to 41444 to make a monetary donation.

Volunteers are needed at all three Stop & Shop locations.

If you wish to volunteer, please visit the following link to sign up for a shift.
