In a heartwarming and inspiring event, Mayor Bruce Harrell recently joined FamilyWorks Family Resource Center & Food Banks to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Wallingford Food Bank renovation.

A Step Toward a Stronger Community

The renovation of the Wallingford Food Bank represents far more than just construction — it symbolizes growth, compassion, and a shared vision for a more inclusive future. This expanded space will help ensure that families have access to nutritious and culturally relevant food, as well as essential support services that strengthen community well-being.

Mayor Harrell expressed his admiration for FamilyWorks’ dedication to addressing food insecurity and supporting families in need. He emphasized that such initiatives play a crucial role in building a resilient and caring city where no one is left behind.

Building Hope, One Family at a Time

FamilyWorks has long stood as a beacon for families seeking not only food but also resources, guidance, and empowerment. Through this renovation, the organization aims to serve even more people, providing them with the dignity and respect they deserve. The new and improved facility will make it easier to store and distribute food efficiently, host community programs, and create a welcoming environment for every visitor.

A Celebration of Unity

The groundbreaking event was filled with optimism and community spirit. Smiles, laughter, and hope filled the room as participants symbolically broke down a wall, representing the start of new opportunities and stronger connections.

In the photos shared by Mayor Harrell, we see the joy and teamwork that fuel this mission — volunteers, staff, and leaders coming together for a common cause: to nourish both body and soul.

Looking Forward

Once completed, the renovated Wallingford Food Bank will not only provide food but also serve as a hub of education, support, and empowerment — helping families thrive, not just survive.

As Mayor Harrell beautifully highlighted, this project is a testament to what’s possible when communities come together with compassion and purpose.

The FamilyWorks Food Bank renovation stands as a powerful reminder that when we invest in people, we build a future of hope, health, and unity for all.
