WCTY Food Drive 2026

Thursday and Friday, November 12th and 13th – Join WCTY with ShopRite at our annual food drive to benefit the TVCCA and the Gemma E. Moran United Way/Labor Food Bank.
Since ShopRite was founded, they have made fighting hunger in our communities a priority. During this season of giving, please join Ken Jr., the Capano family, and the entire ShopRite team in gathering non-perishable food to donate to the Gemma E. Moran United Way/Labor Food Bank. With the high inflation these past few years, hunger and food insecurity now affect more than 1 in 5 families in our neighborhood.
Your donations may be dropped off at ShopRite in Norwich. Various premade bags will be available for purchase to make donating easier.
As a reward for your generosity or to extend your donation further, ShopRite and the Capano family will offer a $10 ShopRite gift card for the purchase of 2 – $25 premade bags and a $25 ShopRite gift card for 3 – $25 premade bags bought and donated to this food drive. Thank you for all your support!
