Community Nourishment: Wegmans Joins the Fight Against Food Insecurity

Local support grows for the CT State Norwalk Food Pantry

Food insecurity shouldn’t be part of the college experience—but for many students, it still is. That’s why the CT State Norwalk Food Pantry remains one of the most critical initiatives supported by the NCC Foundation. Thanks to a generous community and new partners like Wegmans, that impact is growing.

Earlier this month, The Pantry received a special donation to help stock its shelves from Wegmans, whose grand opening is set for late July in the Norwalk community. The beloved grocery store chain is already proving to be more than just a great place to shop—they’re stepping in as thoughtful neighbors.

From canned goods and fresh produce to hygiene supplies and grab-and-go snacks, The Pantry provides essentials to students facing financial challenges.

“The Pantry helps students stay focused on their education instead of worrying about their next meal,” said Nancy von Euler, president and CEO of the NCC Foundation. “Partnerships like this make that possible.”

In a time when the cost of living continues to rise, this kind of support is more than generous—it’s essential. As we welcome Wegmans to Norwalk, we also celebrate all who donate time, food, or funds to ensure every student has what they need to succeed.
