At DESK, we’re all about partnerships—whether with our guests, neighbors, nonprofits, faith-based organizations, local schools, colleges, or the business community in Greater New Haven. Partnerships are the cornerstone of our organization and allow us to continue to go above and beyond when serving people experiencing homelessness or living in poverty by providing food assistance and services that promote health, community, and equity.

Today, we take a moment to highlight our fantastic partnership with Liberty Bank! Many of you may recognize them for their passionate commitment to improving the lives of their customers, teammates, and communities since 1825. At DESK, we truly appreciate how they have embraced and continue to fulfill their mission alongside us.

DESK is grateful for Liberty Bank’s ongoing support of our Dinner Program. More than a third of New Haven’s residents face food insecurity each year. DESK helps individuals and families with chronic hunger, while also connecting them to a range of additional services that can assist with related needs, such as housing, financial stability, and overall health and well-being.

In addition to providing funding, Liberty Bank joyfully collaborates with the organization in many other meaningful ways throughout the year. They host food and clothing drives and eagerly volunteer at our various sites.
