HOW ONE MOM STARTED A MOVEMENT WITH LASAGNA Connecticut Volunteers Are Needed! If you’re unemployed or an older adult who can’t leave your home during these times, a simple home-cooked meal can make a huge difference. Luckily, there’s a new movement starting in Connecticut — and if you want to volunteer, all it takes is some simple lasagna assembly and a lot of love.
Joy Delaney from Simsbury has volunteered as a Lasagna Love regional leader in the Hartford area where over 50 meal
requests come in every week. She tells NBC that they accept meal requests from anyone and because of record unemployment, demand is only growing across the state. “We’ve helped every single ... walk of life you can think of, from essential workers to seniors who just can’t leave their homes. So there’s no stigma in asking for help,” she says. “I definitely don’t see it slowing down anytime soon.” It’s very easy to request help or volunteer. Just go to LasagnaLove.org and select “contactless delivery,” or sign up to cook and deliver! They need volunteers in Connecticut and food is one of the best ways to spread love and compassion to our neighbors not so far away from our home in Manchester.

Rhiannon Menn didn’t know what to do and saw families in need all around her — many she knew on Facebook. “Around April, I started feeling super helpless,” she told NBC. “There were so many moms that I knew who had lost child care, who had lost jobs. They were just feeling stressed out. And so literally one day, I was just like, ‘I’m gonna make extra meals.’” She offered those extra meals on a local Facebook group for moms and the response became overwhelming, both from families that needed the help and families that wanted to help. In the blink of an eye, she had started a movement. Lasagna Love has grown tremendously and includes volunteer cooks nationwide. Menn couldn’t have predicted that her first seven extra meals would turn into over 8,000 lasagna dinners for neighbors in need.
