With a cast and crew of over fifty students, there is something for everyone in Freeplay!

Students spend weeks preparing only to never really know what will tickle the funny bone until they have an audience.

At Filling in the Blanks, we believe no child should have to worry about their next meal. We exist to break the cycle of poverty so that children can lead full, safe, and healthy lives. We aim to reduce the stigma around seeking help and to alleviate hunger by raising awareness about food insecurity.
Eleven years ago, Filling in the Blanks started as a simple program- to provide children in need with nutritious meals on the weekends. In an effort to remove barriers, we deliver food directly to the schools, after school programs, and camps. What began as a small operation with 50 children in one school in Stamford has grown to delivering meals to 8,400 children at over 220 schools across Fairfield and Westchester Counties every weekend.
