On Wednesday, June 17, 2026, golfers, partners, and supporters will gather at Blackledge Country Club in Hebron, Connecticut for the annual Out-Drive Hunger Golf Classic.
This event offers more than time on the course. It creates space for connection, shared purpose, and a collective effort to support families across New England. Through friendly competition and meaningful engagement, participants help extend food access to communities served through a growing network of partners.
Midwest Food Bank New England distributes more than 1 million pounds of food and essential items each month to over 170 nonprofit partners, all at no cost. These partnerships ensure that food reaches neighbors through local agencies, churches, and community organizations where it is needed most.
As part of this year’s event, an online auction will add another opportunity to participate and give. In recognition of the excitement surrounding March Madness, two signed basketballs will be featured, one signed by UConn’s Sarah Strong, and another signed by UConn players Braylon Mullins and Malachi Smith.
We are also welcoming golfers, sponsors, and donations for door prizes as we prepare for the event.
Events like this bring together people who believe that community impact grows when we serve together. Whether on the course or through supporting the auction, every contribution helps extend care and provision to others.
We look forward to gathering for a day that blends connection, generosity, and purpose.
