Beacon Bank launches food drive to combat food insecurity in Pawcatuck, CT

PAWCATUCK, Connecticut, July 6, 2026 — Beacon Bank today kicks off its annual summer food drive to benefit the Pawcatuck Neighborhood Center in its efforts to help combat food insecurity in town. The drive will run through Aug. 14.

Donations of non-perishable food may be made during operating hours in collection bins at the Beacon Bank branch located at 445 Liberty Street in Pawcatuck.

“Our focus has always been on serving our local communities and responding to their most pressing needs,” said Will Tsonos, president of the bank’s Rhode Island region. “Too many families are facing real challenges putting food on the table. This effort is about coming together as a community to make sure support reaches those who need it most.”

Items that are needed most include peanut butter, tuna, canned and dried beans, cereal, rice, canned chili, soups and stews, pasta, tomato sauce, canned fruits and vegetables, and macaroni and cheese.
