State Representative Bill Pizzuto (R-71) and members of the Waterbury General Assembly delegation hosted a food drive on May 31, 2026 to benefit St. Vincent DePaul Mission of Waterbury.
"Thank you to everyone who came out on a cold and windy morning to support the delegation's food drive for St. Vincent DePaul, which helps those in our area experiencing food insecurity. We are blessed to have such a generous community," said Rep. Pizzuto.
The delegation hopes to organize another drive this summer when food pantries typically see more demand and fewer donations.
"Everyone gives around Thanksgiving and Christmas, which is much appreciated , but in the summertime kids are out of school and not necessarily getting the free or reduced price meals like they do during the academic year," notes Rep. Pizzuto.
