The CSK Mission:

To feed the hungry, no matter the circumstances.

The CSK Vision:

We envision a community where each and every individual has access to food, health services, and community engagement in a dignified and mutually respectful environment.

Closing the Meal Gap: CSK’s Three-Year Plan to Feed the Hungry

Eleven neighborhoods in New Haven face poverty rates over 25%, impacting more than 16,000 food-insecure residents. Even with existing SNAP benefits and emergency food providers, the city faces a 2.5 million meal gap each year.

In 2025, CSK launched “Closing the Meal Gap,” a three-year strategic plan to replicate our proven neighborhood-centric meal service model across the city. By empowering local leaders and partnering with community organizations, we are designing food service solutions tailored to each neighborhood’s unique needs.
