Volunteers gathered surplus bread and baked goods from local vendors to distribute at the Norwalk Emergency Shelter in Norwalk, Connecticut.

VOC, Inc. president convinced the manager of an upscale grocery store to donate all the day-old baked goods. On a weekly basis and for several months the team transported a truckload of bread, baguettes, cakes and cookies to the shelter. When the shelter could not accept a delivery, the food items were taken to a local nursing home.

The clients at the Norwalk Shelter consisted of several single mothers with young children as well as entire families.
