The drive through Greenwich, pearl of Connecticut’s Gold Coast, can feel like a journey into 48 square miles of money.

From back-country lanes around the exclusive Round Hill Club — past patrician estates, $5 million colonials, the Ferrari and Porsche dealerships, Saks and Hermès — to the Indian Harbor Yacht Club on the sound, Greenwich, celebrated hedge fund capital of the world, seems to drip with wealth.

This is a story about the other Greenwich — the one that’s brought Patricia Restrepo to a downtown food pantry, not far from the Citarella Gourmet Market, on this crisp November Monday.
