Danbury signs agreement to be prepared for any mass-feeding need

The Danbury City Council has signed an agreement between the Amber Room and the Office of Emergency Management.  Director Matthew Cassavechia says the city needs to be prepared for any mass-feeding need that presents itself. Danbury previously had agreements with the Salvation Army and is in discussions with the school vendors as another contingency.  He noted that this is not a retainer, but more a pay-as-you-go situation. 

Cassavechia says the Amber Room has a long history of serving the Danbury community, as well as the experience in providing a large quantity of quality meals within a short period time.  Through the pandemic and multiple collaborations, the Amber Room provided 75,000 meals to help with food insecurity. 

The agreement says there would be a  30-meal minimum order, and a minimum of three hours’ notice, with the maximum meal count based upon the meal type and advance notice.  Delivery of the food within 20 miles is included in the price. There are three breakfast options ranging from $10 to $14; three lunch options ranging from $10 to $14; and three dinner options ranging from $15 to $20.
