Bringing Hope to Every Table
Our Story
At Gourmet Konnect, we believe everyone deserves easy access to nutritious meals and food items. If it sounds easy, that’s because, with Gourmet Konnect, it is.
Food insecurity has plagued thousands of individuals and families, negatively impacting their physical and mental health. After learning how many people in Connecticut suffer from hunger due to a variety of reasons (job loss, natural disasters, and disablement - to name a few), we sought to create a sustainable solution.
Our founder Joshua Watkins witnessed this growing dilemma firsthand as the executive director of New Haven’s Community Soup Kitchen, where they served hundreds of thousands of meals to the community in just the last two years.
Combining his passion for public service with his invaluable experience, he assembled a team to further contribute to the betterment of food-insecure Connecticuters. This marked the start of Gourmet Konnect - a non-profit organization that aims to eradicate hunger in our local communities.
Providing Cuisine, Community, and Care
Gourmet Konnect provides accessible solutions that make finding a nutritious meal a seamless experience.
We’ve combined technological advancements with a basic need for food, resulting in an innovative, user-friendly app designed with convenience and compassion in mind. The Gourmet Konnect app allows us to connect directly with those suffering from food insecurity. It presents a fuss-free way to obtain groceries or meals from various food pantries, community kitchens, after-school programs, and more.
Food is not all we deliver. We also aim to foster a presence that is instantly recognized as a beacon of hope, a visual reminder that reinforces the sentiment that you are in good hands. Our team works hard to ensure every mouth is fed and every individual is cared for, making Gourmet Konnect well-equipped to connect people with the nourishment they deserve - literally and figuratively.
