This Duck Day, help fight hunger right here in our community by supporting the Southbury Food Bank — a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring no neighbor goes without access to nutritious food. Located at 88 Main Street South, the Food Bank has been a beacon of hope for countless families in Southbury, operating with the belief that food is a basic human right.
Compassionate Care for All
The Southbury Food Bank provides essential food assistance in an environment grounded in respect, dignity, and compassion. Whether a family is facing temporary hardship or ongoing financial stress, the Food Bank welcomes them with open arms and open shelves — offering not just food, but reassurance and community.
Programs That Keep Shelves Stocked and Hope Alive
From the innovative Adopt-A-Shelf program — where local groups help ensure consistent stocking of key items — to regular appeals for critical food needs like juice, specialty pastas, and personal care products, the Southbury Food Bank adapts to meet real-time challenges head-on.
Volunteer-Driven, Community-Focused
With a team of over 80 dedicated volunteers, the Food Bank thrives on local generosity. Food donations, financial contributions, and time offered by residents power every meal served. Community support isn’t just welcome — it’s essential.

Dive into the quacktastic world of Duck Day, an extraordinary event that has been making a splash since its creation in 2005 by the Naugatuck Chamber. The main event of the day is the Great Duck Day Race. Imagine over 20,000 rubber ducks joyously racing down the Naugatuck River, each one vying to be among the first 20 to cross the finish line and claim fabulous prizes. With the top prize of $5,000 awaiting one lucky ticket holder, the excitement is simply ducky!
But Duck Day is more than just a race; it’s a delightful festival that brings the heart of downtown Naugatuck to life! Maple and Water Streets are transformed into a vibrant wonderland where food and craft vendors tempt your taste buds, live music sets your feet tapping, and games and activities keep the kids giggling with joy. The festivities also offer a fantastic opportunity for businesses to showcase their products and services to the enthusiastic crowd of over 5,000 attendees.
Beyond the fun and frolic, Duck Day carries a heartwarming mission to support the local community. Over the previous decades, this feather-filled celebration has helped more than 375 organizations raise nearly half a million dollars through the Duck Race fundraising activities.
Don’t miss your chance to join the flock of enthusiastic participants! Please note that Chamber employees are not eligible to participate in the draw. The more entries we receive, the quackier the race becomes, increasing your chances of being a winner! All participants must be over 16 years of age to enter this exciting event. So, grab your tickets and join us for a day of quacktastic fun and meaningful contributions to our community!
