???? Nourishing the Body ???? At the Community Dining Room, every meal is crafted with care and love. Our commitment goes beyond providing nutritious food. We strive to deliver quality, comfort, dignity, and a sense of community with every plate. From vibrant salads to warm, hearty soups and perfectly seasoned entrees, our dishes are thoughtfully prepared to feed our neighbors in need with respect and dignity. We believe that everyone deserves a meal made from the heart. ?? We proudly proclaim we are #MorethanjustaMeal, but the meal is at the heart of our mission. It's about more than food, we serve connection, compassion, and community. We've been doing it for 40 years and with the help of our amazing volunteers, donors, sponsors, and staff, we will continue to do it for more than 40 more! ?? #CommunityDiningRoom #HeartOfTheCommunity #Branford #Guilford #EastHaven #NorthBranford

?? Make a Difference. Have Fun. Be Part of Something Bigger! ?? We at the Community Dining Room are more than just a meal. We’re the heart of the community. We provide a hub of hope, heart, and connection. We want YOU to be a part of that. We have so many events and activities, there’s always a way to get involved and make an impact. Your ticket to one of our events, your attendance at a dine to donate, or your donation can make a huge difference for your neighbors in need. Every dollar we raise helps close the food gap on the Shoreline. 1 in 8 adults and 1 in 6 children in Connecticut experience food insecurity. Even more experience food scarcity. Your help is needed! ? Join us for exciting events that bring people together! ??? Support local causes while enjoying fun raffles, delicious food, and unforgettable experiences. ?? Volunteer and see firsthand how your time and effort change lives. ?? Every ticket purchased, every moment spent, helps us nourish our community. Your participation matters.
