🥚 Connecticut Foodshare is beginning distribution of 1.5 million eggs to our partners across the state through a settlement secured by Connecticut Office of the Attorney General and a bipartisan coalition of attorneys general that ended a long-running illegal scheme to manipulate egg prices.

🥚 Eggs are a nutritious source of protein and a much-needed item across our network of 450+ agency partners. We’re grateful to Attorney General Tong and the coalition of attorneys general for helping turn this settlement into meaningful support for our neighbors facing food insecurity.
